Reference / Edition: Aurora 88 (classic model, modern re-edition)
Length: approximately 13.7 cm closed
Diameter: approximately 1.4 cm (measurement not indicated in the note; estimated from photos)
Period: modern re-edition, roughly the 1990s–2000s (Marcello Nizzoli's original design is from the 1950s)
Materials: high-gloss black resin for the body, cap, and clip finial in gold-plated metal with vertical guilloché lines; gold rings in the section and at the end of the barrel; 14k gold nib (585) engraved with swirls and the AURORA signature; black ebonite feed. Combined piston-encapsulated filling system.
Condition: very good overall; the black resin retains its original shine with no cracks or notable marks, the gold cap maintains intact plating with uniform luster and only minimal signs of use appreciable in the guilloché; the 14k nib appears straight, aligned, and undamaged, and the gold ring at the end of the barrel shows very slight patchy wear on the plating. Piece with very little use, well cared for.

Accessories: comes with the original Aurora case "made in Italy" in black faux leather with a light silk and pale velvet interior; no papers, certificate or warranty card are visible in the photos (not a full set).
