Vintage Brand 'Mondiale'

[LetiziaJac]

My opinion is that this pen comes from the Milan area and it is a bit earlier than Zabo's Mondial.

Letizia, mine too is marked Mondiale and not Mondial.

Sorry in the previous photo the "e" was missing.

Here is a photo after initial cleaning (and not yet polished).

Now I believe it's gold filled, not brass.

Wll, at this point I think we could add a small chapter in the History of Italian FP, including the brand Mondiale, which sems to be connceted to good to high quality safeties with overlay. As regards your pen I have seen that pattern on a number of minor Italian safeties ( like Hoower for instance), mainly in brass. Gold filling makes it certainly a much more interesting and good looking overlay.
