THREE RARE VINTAGE AURORA

[labeo]

I understand that the Aurora Etiopia was a pen made for use by Italian soldiers in, or to commemorate, the invasion of Ethipia by Italy in 1935.

 

People ought take time to read about this invasion, which was miserable to say the least. It is thought by some that up to a quarter of a million Ethipians lost their lives. Some historians allege that war crimes were also committed by the invading army.

 

All wars are miserable, bad, and orrible.

WWII, Iraq, Afganistan, Vietnamm... all are destructive demonstrations of the human kind.

But i think that this is not the correct place to speak about it.

 

Aurora Etiopia is a trench pen as some other pens and was made to work and write in critic field.

I know this is a pen discussion site, not a political site. As a vintage pen collector, I enjoy visiting this site to discuss pens.

 

Still, all pens have a history - indeed, that is why many of us like collecting them. Some pens have quite an interesting history.

 

The Aurora's you show display exceptional style. They are truly wonderful to look at.

I think that the Aurora's made from 1925 to 1950 have all exceptional style, very different respect other pen brands.

Maybe in that period Aurora have have write the history of the fountains pens.

 

For example Aurora Superba.
