Description from the seller
Elegant and highly collectible Aurora H fountain pen, crafted in solid 18 kt gold, produced in Italy by Aurora S.p.A. (Turin) and originally sold in 1979, as confirmed by the original dated documentation included in the set.
This pen features a refined linear guilloché finish and is one of Aurora’s most important high-end models from the late 1970s. Solid gold Aurora pens with original box and documents are becoming increasingly rare to find.
