Condition is "Near Mint" with no cracks, scratches, or teeth marks.
The chrome trim is clean and well preserved with no use wear.
It has the original 14kt Gold Nib marked, "AURORA O TORINO 14KT". The nib has 2 fine stress cracks that extend partially out from the center breather hole(see picture). The nib still functions and is semi-flexible fine...but this pen is more for collection than writing. If desired in the future, the buyer could always have the nib repaired by a nib expert skilled in working with gold.
Fully cleaned with newly replaced rubber bladder in good working
condition.
Great collection quality piece, amazing celluloid color, Fabbrica Italiana.
Note: Also comes with the original
tassel that has worn through and needs to be mended and reattached to the ring top. With the exception of this being a green stripe model, this is almost the same pen as is pictured in the Andreas Lambrou Book, Fountain Pens of the World, page 317.
Shipped with Insured USPS First Class Package.
