hello folks would like to move this user grade Omas 360 Magnum made in the early 90s, ebonite feed, inhouse 18k nib, piston works smoothly, caps pops on and off securely. Writingwise this pen is identical to a Pilot Custom Urushi 845 I recently sold, very smooooth just a touch of feedback unluckily I like nibs with a tad of tooth and this isnt quite right for me.

C condition due to: plating on the nib wore off, corrosion on the thin section band (last 3 pics in the album)

Asking 380 euros, including shipping anywhere. I do have its clamshell box and cardboard box but shippng would be very expensive so would prefer to post just the pen Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/with any questions

Hello folks, selling this OMAS 556/S in the full gold-filled finish with the alternating pinstriped and plain panel pattern, comes with its box and the lil leaflets. There are micriscratches but the main cosmetic flaw is a ding on the back of the cap (last couple of pics in the album). The piston works and the pen is fitted with a lovely flexible extrafine with excellent snapback

hello again folks finally got around to taking some pics of this Aurora Optima I wanted to sell. Iirc this cracked-ice material was released back in late 2012. This one has seen little to no use and has no signs of wear whatsoever not even microscratches. It's fitted with an EF nib with a rather controlled/dry flow (I have only used it with Diamine Graphite which isn't a particularly wet ink) and a maroon ebonite feed.

Asking 275 euros, including shipping anywhere worldwide (less than half its msrp on this side of the pond). Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/wwith any questions

I am selling ths vintage 88 alonside its Aurora branded cloth and its blue tin box. The pen seems completely made of celluloid, imprints are crisp, I just got the piston new seals.

Fitted with a 14k flexible extrafine

Asking 110 euros, including shipping anywhere worldwide. Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/with any questions

Selling this Aurora which I received some years ago. This is basically a run-of-the-mill Aurora with a celebrative cap dome for the 10th anniversary of AIDAF. What's AIDAF? The Italian Family Business Association. I worked on a project for them some years ago and someone got word that I was into fountain pens, so I received this as a token.This was a celebrative edition made for the 10th anniversary of the association back in 2007.

Unfortunately medium nibs aren't really my thing, so I haven't used it much. As a matter of fact, I inked it for the very first time last month for a nib comparison. It has no signs of use, not even microscratches. There is an engraving on the section with my initials, "A.F.R.", in cursive. I do have its box, but it's a wooden chest that weighs at least 2 kg, so yeah, I can't really post it.

Asking 230 euros including shipping anywhere worldwide. Thanks for reading an get in touch for more pics/with any questions

https://imgur.com/a/88big-wzosjQw

Hello folks I would like to move this Aurora. Judging from the section shape, it was made in the late ’80s/early ’90s. B condition due to microscratches and some minor plating loss on the cap (last 7 pics in the album).

It is fitted with an ebonite feed and an old-style nib with long tines. Writing-wise I would say it's either a skinny medium or a fat fine rather sure it's a fine. It has some lovely pencil-like feedback and a bit of softness as expected from these long-tined nibs.

Asking 200 euros, including shippign anywhere. Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/with any questions

hello penpeole I am looking to rehome this old stye Pelikan m400. Solid B condition just has some microscrathces especially on the cap, trims are in great condition and the piston works.

Fitted with an EF with just a touch of feedback, opens up a bit would call it a semiflex with ok snapback.

yet again I am trying to let go of this Omas 361T (tonda/round) fitted with a golden cap. This is an extremely user grade pen with a cracked nib hood as you can see from the album, the nib seems also to have suffered a fall. Having said nib this pen really stands out for flexibility and snapback, quite frankly I believe we are in wet noodle terrritory, hope the video and the pics are pretty clear. Piston works

I am asking 175 euros, including shipping anywhere worldwide. Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/with any questions

https://imgur.com/a/montblanc-32-ef-34HbH5o

Hello fountainpenfolks I would like to move this Montblanc 32. I believe this is the later version as the ink window is threaded

B condition due to some micro-scratches. It comes with its original box and the instruction leaflet in Italian. Fitted with a 14k EF nib, on the wet side for an EF, has some feedback a-la-Aurora so to speak. The piston works as it should ready to be inked

Asking 100 euros, including shipping anywhere hoping for a quick sale. Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/with any questions

https://imgur.com/a/delta-dolcevita-federico-martemodena-gjDq5DC

Hello penfolks, I would like to move this Delta made just before the original company went under. As you may know the infamous Martemodena-branded pens are the ones that were never paid for by the retailer and allegedly contributed to Delta going under

this is basically a budget version of the Dolcevita fitted with a steel nib. I do not remember the specific name of this configuration it essentially features a decorated barrel, rose-gold trims, and a rose-gold-plated steel nib. It comes with its converter which can be accessed from the back through the faux blind cap.

B condition due to micro-scratches especially on the clip. Writingwise it's a slightly wider-than-I-like fine and on the wet side.

Asking 90 euros, including shipping anywhere. Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/with any questions

https://youtu.be/LzsAzKx4kA4?si=FMBbP7UqpbDkXbfQ

Hello penfolks, I would like to move yet another Aurora 88. This one is in C/D condition and comes with its little lead holder.

C condition due to the usual micro-scratches and a tad of plating loss on the cap dome. D condition due to the nib: unfortunately, the tipping was asymmetric and I had to work on it. I turned it into a fine stub and now it's back to writing beautifully. As is often the case with vintage 88s, it's pretty flexible and has great snapback (I hope the writing sample/video makes that clear).The piston works as it should. The piston knob appears to be made of ebonite and has an extremely faint oxidation patina.

For this pair I am sking 100 euros, shipping included anywhere. Thanks for reading get in touch for more pics/with any questions

Aurora 88 with a diagonally striped ink window https://imgur.com/a/88-diagonal-stripes-CLjEoc5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6-0m6JDfuk extremely extremely peculiar pen with this unusual ink window, havent found any references anywhere. B minus condition: bit of plating missing from the very dome of the cap, microscratches, ambered ink window, tarnished ebonite piston knob. Fitted with another flexible EF, a tad less flexible than the previous one but starts as an hairline which I appreciate in flex nibs, again rather controlled flow when unflexed. Asking 125 euros

Aurora 88 https://imgur.com/a/aurora-88-with-dent-11igrw9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhRr6yZIzr0 a simple run of the mill Aurora 88 compeltey made of celluloid. Rated B there s a small dent on the cap and microscratches, serial number just above one milion. Another flexible extrafine, this one is the toothier of the bunch. Asking 100 euros. For the record ink here is Aurora blue

Auroa 88 https://imgur.com/a/aurora-88-c-condition-HA8SQtB https://youtu.be/oS9Ph-gGGVY?si=840-P7pUS4VRz77K another run of the mill Aurora 88, section and body amde of celluloid, ebonite piston knob.

Again another flexible ef with a controlled flow unflexed. Asking 85 euros

Aurora 88 Nikargenta https://imgur.com/a/88-nikargenta-0sZu31e https://youtu.be/n0qOsXJ72Vs?is=Wo1m1t78L7J5_oba celluloid barrell, ebonite section and piston knob both are slightly tarnished. C condition as the plating is completely worn on one side of the cap. Just fitted a new nib on this, it's a less than average flexible EF, pleasant writer nonetheless. Asking 85 euros
