Chatterley/Armando Simoni Club “Aurora Borealis” Oversized Bologna Ebonite Fountain Pen
This pen is lovingly used and does not come with a box or papers. It is equipped with an 18k Magic Flex nib and fills via a Pneumatic Filling System.
A Chatterley ASC Collaboration. The Armando Simoni Club Oversized Ogiva Extra Green Arco Celluloid with Rose Gold Trim. Limited and Numbered to only 20 pens. This Ebonite the “Aurora Borealis” is a dark Ebonite with beautiful colors swirled in it. This Ebonite is nice as its a bit incognito. It’s dark from a distance, but when looking at it up close, all those amazing colors shine.
The Greek Key pattern appears on the cap band as it has since Armando Simoni introduced it on his pens. Greek Key bands now also decorate the barrel above the grip section.
Pen aficionados will appreciate the superb writing characteristics from the combination of a large (No. 8 size) ‘Magic Flex’ 18k solid Rose gold nib, and an innovative ebonite feed that flexes to provide superb ink flow. Everything about this design enables you to vary the line width by changing the amount of pressure on the nib as you write. Be careful not to push too hard, as you can bend this flexible nib.
The old-fashioned turning knob and piston is superseded by a large volume, quick-acting pneumatic filling system. Unscrew the cap at the top end of the barrel, pull the plunger outward, put your finger on the hole, immerse the nib in ink, then push the plunger into the barrel to fill the pen. Re-tighten the knob and you are ready to write.
Here are some group shots with the other 2 Ebonites from the Chatterley/ASC series.
