Help pls to ID mystery pen
Hi everyone! Recently found what looks like a frankenpen, but I can't ID what it originally was. Hope someone here might be able to help!
- The overall shape seems Italian?
- Fairly large. Just a bit shorter than a Pelikan M800 -
- Nib is a a large Waterman semi-flex IDEAL 14K nib with a “5” on the bottom is mated with what looks like a Vacumatic feed.
- The clip is probably a replacement? The holes the tabs on the sides of the clip fit into are clearly visible, and the clip looks
like it came from a Waterman 32 but is smooth and has a differently-shaped “ball” at the end.
- Traces of polish stuck between the cap bands and their grooves suggest the bands were once plated, but the bands themselves are uneven.
- No imprint on the barrel, though I can make out faint traces of a work in a stylised cursive -- "auria"? “aurax”? “aurex”? “aurea”? It may have been foil hot-stamped onto the barrel and subsequently lost.
- The barrel, cap and blind cap are thick black and pearlescent burgundy celluloid, with a few transparent patches which have ambered.
- The button hole at the end of the barrel is off-centre, and the blind cap is not completely flush with the barrel.
- Anyway, it’s a straightforward button-filler. Resacced with a #18 sac -
Does anyone have any idea? Any help would be appreciated

That's a fairly distinctive profile to the cap lip, but not a familiar one. I have seen in on a vintage Omas Lucens, but I don't see any connection to this pen.

Thanks for your comment!
I've since managed to identify it as an Aurea --

But the pen could have been made by Omas. Apparently Aurea was a small pen company and had their pens made by Montegrappa etc.

The overall shape suggesting an Italian origin could indicate that the pen was inspired by Italian pen designsOdin wrote: ↑November 1st, 2022, 12:32 pmIt was from this site that i got to know about generating documents.
