The Aurora 88 Matte Black fountain pen is a great update to the classic 88. It comes with a satin finish on the cap and barrel as well as the section of the pen for a secure grip. It is a regular sized pen with a cigar shape - a round body with smoothly rounded off ends. Pen appears well finished and well made - Feels well balanced with amazing grip. There is a centerband located at the end of the cap. It is engraved with "Aurora" and has two thin black rings in it. It's a simple but attractive center band. There is also a thin metal band at the end of the piston-turning knob. The section is fairly long, tapering slightly towards the nib and ending in a flared ridge. There are resin threads at the back of the section, and a clear, double walled ink window. The ink window is not visible when the pen is capped, and the cap band connects smoothly with the barrel. The cap, section, and barrel are all black satin resin - black with a matte finish.
The fountain pen is accented with rose gold trim on the clip and rings. A matching rose gold colored solid 14k gold nib is then fitted on this piston style fountain pen with an ink viewing window integrated into the barrel. With its unique design and stunning rosegold accents, this pen is sure to be an eye-catching addition to any writing collection.
