An amazing Aurora Optima, first series (1932 circa)

 

This pen was the answer to Omas Lucens.

You saved my eyes from Fabbale's pens sight,

one of most beautiful Aurora I ever saw in my long, happy, lucky, life.

 

Thank you Ambros,

Fabio, call this kind of examples please! :lol:

I had one of these, unrestored, in my hands; same color. But on closer inspection, there a some minor celluloid shrinkage on the section, but worse, the barrel was cracked. :crybaby:

Interesting nib. Looks like needlepoint.

 

Is it a flexy nib? That would explain the sharp point.

I can't say for sure how this nib is, as it isn't mine, but many of these vintage Aurora nibs are very flexible. :thumbup:

Yes, many vintage Aurora nibs are quite flexible.

 

As for Ambros' nib in particular, I wonder whether he knows. If I recall correctly, I don't think he actually uses many of his vintage pens. But I could be confusing him with some other Italian collector. :P

Wow! I just noticed the size of that nib, it says 6 which I am guessing is close to other No 6 nibs; that must be a big nib! I would love to see if it is flexible. :yikes: :wub:

 

 

Eric, How could an Italian collector of pens not use his pens? That sounds sacrilegious!! :angry:

But i can confirm: this nib is big and flexible! :thumbup:

Eric & Ambros,

They do a good service for your pens; You can go when you want to clean and then photograph them for FPN.

I highly recommend; When you go away close well the door with the key B)
