AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004791

The fountain pen is presented in very good condition, displaying an elegant and well-kept aesthetic typical of a high-end piece made in 925 sterling silver. The body and cap retain excellent overall shine, with the characteristic striated guilloché finish of Aurora perfectly defined and visually appealing.

Only minor surface micro-scratches arising from moderate use and the passage of time are noticeable, visible only under close inspection and direct light, with no dings, deformations, or relevant structural damage. The black resin details maintain a very good aesthetic presence and the clip retains proper tension and alignment.

The Aurora nib is in good visual and functional condition, with proper ink flow. The piece has been inspected and tested to ensure proper operation before being offered for sale.

The inscription “925” visible on the cap confirms its manufacturing in solid sterling silver, adding exclusivity and greater collectible value to the piece. Additionally, it includes its original Aurora box and documentation, elements especially appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of quality Italian writing instruments.

A sophisticated, refined fountain pen, and increasingly rare in this solid sterling silver finish, ideal for both distinguished daily use and for collection.

Maintenance recommendations

Use high-quality fountain pen inks and avoid pigmented inks. Clean periodically with lukewarm water if not used for a while. Dry completely before storing. Store in a dry place, away from direct sun exposure and extreme temperatures. Operate the filling system and cap gently.

Includes the original Aurora box.

Good luck with the auction!
