Well, again, I have no business here and know nothing about the seller, but I've stumbled again over this very same fleabay offer from France after some weeks - and its not a cheap offer, and I can't see the LE serials on the sides of the black cap top. I do have both the full size Aurora Optima "Sole" FP and BP myself (although not as a set), which is, IMVHO, one of the most attractive Optima LEs ever made, so I'm not interested myself.

So take it or ignore it: ebay item 160238376847

Lucky you, SaintSimon! I've only seen the mini in the stores, never the full-sized model. I think it's a beautiful pen. Thanks for posting the eBay number so I can at least admire it in pics. If you ever consider writing a review on yours, I'd love to read it.

::sigh:: Of course, having the Mare, this one's on my list, and I hadn't caught this pen in my searches (so thanks).

This one is not advertised as what it actually is ...

There wouldn't be any way to see the number on the pen--it's on the black captop on the opposite side of the clip,and all his pics show the set lying down.
