Hello!

I have for sale an Aurora 88 Urano LE with a customized 0.5 mm stub nib by Dan Smith. The pen has been lovingly used, but I simply need to afford other things right now and so, heart heavy, I want to find it a good home. The LE number is 877/888, so it's probably one of the last batch made. The (of course in-house) 18k nib is incredibly smooth - the smoothest I've ever used - while still being fully controllable. The piston actuates very smoothly as well and I haven't had any problems at all with the pen or nib. The trim is rose-gold and compliments the pen's turquoise and white chatoyance well. The pen is full of ink in the photos but will be cleaned and safely packed when shipped.
I am asking $680 including shipping in the U.S. SOLD pending payment, or plus shipping if you also want the large 888-series box with rose-gold trim, etc. on it. Price is negotiable and I am somewhat open to trades for this pen depending on what it is - please just ask! If you have any questions or want more photos, including a writing sample, please also just ask. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi. What did he do to the nib? Any writing samples?

He ground a stock medium, I believe, down to a 0.5 mm stub, which is very smooth. I'll attach a writing sample as soon as I can later today.

Happy New Year everyone!
