    Hi, I recently received an Aurora 88K from a member advertised as an extra fine flex. It has the model number on the section, text that just says Aurora, and then the 88K with the oval thing around it. It has the serial number, but then in a smaller font separate from the model number it has "22." The last two digits in the serial number are 22 as well. I was wondering whether anyone knew what 22 signified? I read that the nib size was designated on the section for the 88K. I'm not used to writing with flex regularly, although I have a Parker Challenger from 1939 with a flex nib. This pen I'd characterize this as more of a medium-fine flex with Sailor Nano Pigment Black in it... but keep in mind I'm used to vintage fine or Japanese fine... more like XXF to XF by todays western standards. Thanks!

    Restoring/fixing An Aurora 88K

    jacquesdubois posted a topic in Italy - Europe

    Hello all! I got an Aurora 88k a while back and now I thought I might use it. It's in very nice shape, the piston seems to work fine, and its serial number is in the 2.2 millons. I got it becuase of its designer, Nizzoli, also designed the typewriters I prefer to use, the Lettera 22 and Studio 44 by Olivetti. I've used Parker 51s before, so I've very gently flushed it like I would a Vacumatic 51, and it's just about ready to use. Is there anything to look for before I put some Waterman's Florida Blue in it to test it out? The piston seems to work, and hold water fine. If it doesn't work, after seeing the screw at the end of the plunger, is there anything I do can to fix it? Does anyone in the US fix Auroras?
