Aurora Marco Polo fountain pen and ballpoint in a fine marbled brown lacquer with gold plated trim; the Marco Polo followed the Hastil design by Mario Zanuso. The pen is a converter/cartridge filler with a 14k medium nib. The ballpoint has an unusual flat end design into which the tip retracts.

Condition: excellent; the set was NOS when I bought it and is complete with instructions but no box. I have inked the fountain pen only once to test it. It writes a very smooth medium line. The ballpoint refill has dried up and will need to be replaced. This set is a beautiful example of a classic of modern pen design.

Hi,

it's an Hastil set not Marco Polo,

there is a wrong paper with the pens.

 

Cheers
