Here is a beautiful example of an Aurora 88P with a luscious super flex nib. The 88P was the third generation of the 88 and was manufactured from 1958 to 1964. This pen was probably made around 1962-63 based on the serial number and that the 88P sold 3.8 million units. The hood is made from ebanite which is uncommon for the 88P as the section is usually made from celluloid, like the barrel and the piston nob. I prefer an ebonite section because it feels ‘warmer’ to the touch and doesn’t slide around if there’s a little moisture on my fingers. And you definitely want that control when you’re working the flex in that nib. The ink window has ambered over the years but is still more than clear enough to see the ink level and the piston. The piston operates smoothly, if only a little stiff, and provides good suction to ensure a full fill. The pen has been lightly polished to remove any surface scratches and bring back the nice shine it once had. $175 SOLD
