The BÖHLER brothers Georg & Hermann started Osmia in 1922's.
They bought the patent from a Heidelberg professor for Osmium,
hence the name of the pen....the best tipping then available.
Osmia had no office supply company to support them, like Soennicken, MB and Pelikan so were always broke.
They were bought up in 1929's by Parker and got a technology transfer.
The Depression hit hard so Parker sold Osmia back to the BÖHLER brothers in '30.
BÖHLER used the same model numbers as Osmia!
