Hi all or Ciao a tutti,

I'm pretty sure I'm not following this thread completely well but if you'll forgive a non-Italian coming into this mix...

The German company is Columbus Werke Fuerth near Nuremberg.  They appear to have some connection to Meissner Schreibgeräte (which still exists - http://www.meissner-schreiben.de).

Pen models with repeating numbers like 1010, 1515, 2425 and the like, are attributable to this company.
Nib imprints will sometimes read -

COLUMBUS
  ROBUR
 Ist QUAL.

As to whether their materials may have been sourced from Italy, that I cannot say but their manufacture was in their own factory.

Thomas Neureither and Michael Yeats have discussed the history of this company and have invoices and other relevant data.

Ciao Jeff,
Welcome here.

Many thank for your precious info; We got ourselves to solving these pens were not produced in Italy but in Germany. At first it seemed strange to the beautiful colors of celluloid, not much used in Germany always fond of black.

At this point, but no matter where they were produced, for me are beautiful vintage fountain pens!!!

Is not it beautiful what is beautiful, but it's nice what we like
(this is my way of life!)

Ormai è assodato che sono state fatte dai crucchi e ciò almeno a me mi fa meraviglia per la scelta della celluloide utilizzata, troppo bella, in special modo la blu.
Per chiudere degnamente l'argomento quindi, un ultimo giro.
