I have a 52 with an 18kr "jeweller's overlay" of possibly Italian origin. So far, I have drawn an absolute blank as to the identity of the maker.
I attach an atrocious sketch of the emblem below on the offchance that someone might recognise it.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Not a jeweler's overlay -- that's the mark of Waterman's Italian agency. You can read a bit of background here, but note that that page is quite old and has been corrected and amplified in many regards since. See Letizia Iacopini's book on Italian overlay Waterman safety pens (she was the author of the website, too).

David Perfect, the info are right and the web page, even if it's old news, however, contains still valid.
The whole story is still shown in a most beautiful LETIZIA's book.
A "Masterpiece"
I buy old Italian fountain pens. If you have some to sell, please send me an email.
