Mister5 Extremely Rare

Hi,

 

I recently received an Aurora 88K from a member advertised as an extra fine flex. It has the model number on the section, text that just says Aurora, and then the 88K with the oval thing around it. It has the serial number, but then in a smaller font separate from the model number it has "22." The last two digits in the serial number are 22 as well. I was wondering whether anyone knew what 22 signified? I read that the nib size was designated on the section for the 88K.

 

I'm not used to writing with flex regularly, although I have a Parker Challenger from 1939 with a flex nib. This pen I'd characterize this as more of a medium-fine flex with Sailor Nano Pigment Black in it... but keep in mind I'm used to vintage fine or Japanese fine... more like XXF to XF by todays western standards.

 

Thanks!
