Other Aurora Writing Instruments include: The 85th Anniversary is a mid-size pen, like all the the Optima size Limited and Special Edition models. It's shorter than most of the extra large limited edition pens made today. This is a distinctive, beautiful pen. The Aurora 85th Anniversary pen is a little longer than an Optima, about 5 3/8" long capped, and when posted, about 6 3/8".

All that white metal wrapped around the red marbled Auroloide cap and barrel makes the normally mid-weight Optima size pen feel a little heftier in the hand. If you have handled the sterling silver Optima, you have some idea of the weight of this pen. It is noticeable when picked up. Solid, but not heavy.

The red Aurora Auroloide is very rich and high gloss. It gleams and the silver accents are both bright and matte, depending on whether they are engraved. The engravings are very high relief and tactile. The trim works well with the vivid plastic and the engraving is ornate. The clip is very elegant, topped with the "85" engraving and scroll work, and works as it should, tightly gripping the pen in place.

Aurora piston fillers work very smoothly and efficiently, and this one is no exception. The ink view window is very large and clear and will give a great view of the remaining ink, so as to avoid run outs. The nib is a shiny palladium plated 18 karat gold that extends the silver look of the trim, and especially the silver section.

The overall design is a elegant, and classic, combining the vintage look and feel of the early Aurora pens and combined with a first rate filling system. This is an excellent pen in all aspects, and would be a great daily user Limited Edition.
