Nineteen sixty-three’s “98 – Riserva Magica” is another descendent of the 88. With its square clip, polished or matte black plastic body, black squared-off cap top, and hooded nib, the pen resembles the 888. Its piston-fill mechanism features a special device, dubbed the “riserva magica,”

that ensures the ink is used to the very last drop.

Aurora produced the 98 with different caps with different decorations. Pens with full overlays of gold, solid gold, and solid silver also appeared, dubbed the GL (Gran Lusso or grand luxury) models.

 

(FROM LETIZIA JACOPINI BOOK).

 

In solid silver for you

Nice pattern.

 

I am not too fond of all-metal pens, but at least the section isn't....

Very pretty. I have a simpler Aurora 98 (black plastic (?) with gold trims) which I'm very fond of, elegant, functional and a good writer. (I bought it here from zanio: thanks!)

 

 

I'm curious how you got the barrel off (the last picture). Just unscrew (without special tools)? More importantly, is re-assembly straightforward?

Thank you for the clear description, fabbale.

 

I tried, but mine won't unscrew even under medium force. I'll leave it in peace as long as it's workng fine.

Talk about resurecting an old thread!

I just got a GL 2 days ago. It was already ready to go. Seems NOS. But, like Anderl said, it won't come off even with medium force. Does anyone know if they used a sealant when assembling the pen? If so, which one?

      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
