Aurea Button Filler

Apologies to those who have asked for a writing sample - here it is in all its lack of glory.

 

The pen itself is a nice object in a warm shade of marbled brown/ gold/ bronze celluloid. It is in basically nice condition apart from a few nibbles on the blind cap and a gouge at the bottom of the barrel near the threads - this may well be a manufacturing defect. Some brassing to the top of the clip, cap rings down to base metal.

 

New sac fitted, functions properly, has an AVM Omega Extra steel nib with quite a bit of flex in the 30's Italian tradition. It writes well enough within the sweet spot but could be improved with a little smoothing.

Incidentally, I cannot manage anything with flex having an insufficiently light touch.

 

It measures 11.5cm capped, 14cm posted ( about the size of a Vac Debutante).

 

Asking $80 including worldwide mail (tracked). Paypal any type fine as are cheques & MO's in GB Pounds.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
