Description from the seller

Aurora Optima Auroloid Grey Marbled Celluloid fountain pen, full set.
Overall excellent condition, warehouse stock, NEVER inked; it has only a tiny scratch on the very top of the cap (see last photograph).
N.B. The only defect: the celluloid has slightly contracted in some areas (see photos 4, 5, and 6), a typical characteristic of the first-series Aurora Optima.
Piston-filling mechanism is working perfectly.
Original nib in 14k gold, extra-fine (F) point.
