This particluar model was made surely made after 1958, the no. of the this particular model shows is was made in late 1950's or beginning of 1960's I don't know how many of this pens Aurora produced every year and the 98 model was introduced in 1963.

Yes, I found a bit of history on this model. Just knowing the general era is helpful (and interesting). Looking forward to it!

Since this is where I first saw the pen for sale, I want to publicly thank David. It took a bit of time to get to me, being hung up in customs in NY for some reason, but it finally arrived and is a lovely pen, both in looks/condition and its writing qualities. This Aurora took a quick leap up into the top level of my favorite pens to write with. Thank you, David!

Another +1 for him too! His prices are by far the best, and the pens get here soon! Thanks David for hooking me on Vintage A88s!! My current one is a early first model (500,000 range), and has a nice Semi flex nib that goes from XXF-B. The piston was stiff, but a dab of silicone grease fixed that :) Great pen!!
