Aurora 88 - 88K - 88P

Since I recently had a couple of Aurora 88s lying on my workbench and there was a representative of each model among them, I thought a little photographic comparison of the development of the design might be interesting. So here are a few shots of the 88, 88K and 88P models

Aurora 88, 88K and 88P in comparison:

Aurora 88, the original, 1946 -53

Aurora 88K 1953 -58

Aurora 88P 1958 -64
