The fountain pens are from top to bottom: a Talentum, 8ct GL, 98 and 88P. The empty box is sadly awaiting the pen that belongs th...

Long story short I sent off a solid 18k gold Aurora that had broken clean in two back to the factory in Italy for repair.? I then learned that those fine folks get the whole month of August off.? Well, my pen arrived yesterday at my front door.? The pictures include a few more than just the 750 GL. PeteWK
