    I purchased this pen at a local estate sale here in Orlando, Florida
    and I am having difficulty finding more detailed information
    about it. I believe it may be of Italian manufacture from the
    1930's - 1940's.
    The reason that I believe such is because it has an Aurora
    'Platiridio' nib. There is a stamp on the ring on the top of the cap
    but I can not make out exactly what it is. I want to think that
    it is 925, 900 or 800 but I honestly don't know. I am hoping that the
    pen is sterling silver but somehow I don't believe that it is.

    Perhaps there is someone that has some more information about
    this Italian made button filler fountain pen.
    I certainly appreciate this website & venue for being able to post
    this pen.

    Many thanks to the Collector's Weekly website.
    Regards,
    Perry
