Product Description
Type Modern fountain pen
Product Name Aero
Manufacturer and Year Diplomat, Germany. This pen is currently produced.
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Cartridge or converter filled, international style. The pen comes fitted with a converter.
Color Flame - a sort of iridescent or rainbow finish on anodized aluminum. Unlike most of the other Aero models, the body of this pen is made of stainless steel rather than aluminum, and is somewhat heavier than you might expect. (We weighed this pen with the converter and it's about 70 grams, where a regular aluminum Aero was 42 grams). Black finials, clip, and section.
Nib Fine steel nib. Very smooth.
Condition Excellent + condition. There are some tiny marks near the middle of the pen, where cap and barrel meet. There is also one patch of scratches near the end of the barrel, similar to what we've seen on pens that have come in contact with the ground. The rest of the pen looks great, with a beautiful rainbow-like finish. No smooth or shiny spots. No chips or dings. No box or paperwork.
NOTE: the finish of the pen is not as bright as the picture suggests. In hand, it's much more muted, but the photography lights really give the colors a glow-up!
