Literature:

This model, which is often referred to as designed by Albe Steiner, was introduced to the market in 1963; the pen was initially produced with the sophisticated piston filler, characterized by the introduction of the so-called "Magic Reserve".
The pen took up the main themes of the period, with the use of the covered nib but it differs from other productions of the time, and from the other Aurora piston pens that preceded it, both for the sophisticated system of actuating the piston, which especially for the introduction of the original mechanism of the Magic Reserve which allows you to obtain a few pages of writing once the ink in the tank is exhausted, keeping some of it in a recess in the piston head. Later it was also produced in a considerably simplified alternative version, passing from the piston to an ordinary cartridge filling.
