Description from the seller
Item: AURORA FOUNTAIN PEN, cylindrical sterling-silver barrel and cap with gold-tone barleycorn crosshatch guilloché engraving, a smooth flat clip, and a black ribbed resin section with a light-colored ring
Length: 13.7 cm
Diameter: 0.9 cm
Nib: M
Period: circa 1980s–1990s
Materials: Sterling silver with a vermeil-style gold finish on the cap and barrel, engraved with crosshatch guilloché over the entire surface; black resin section with fine ribs; gold-tone ring and metal details; light-colored metal nib (rhodium-plated/steel) with a round breather hole
Condition: Good overall condition, with signs of use consistent with its age: tarnishing and patina typical of silver in several areas of the cap and barrel (particularly visible in the backlit photos), light marks and loss of shine on the clip and edges, and an isolated dark spot in the engraving. No significant knocks, dents, or cracks; the guilloché engraving remains crisp, the cap fits properly, and the nib appears straight, aligned, and undamaged
Extras: The pen alone; no box or papers are visible in the photos (the note confirms it is supplied without a box)
