In the mid '20s also Aurora started production of celluloid pens, and in 1927 introduced the Duplex series;[1] for its name was called a contest, the outcome of which was not then used.[2] The pen was a lever filler, proposed in four measures. I was a clear imitation of the Duofold with the cap head in black hard rubber and a ball washer clip. But unlike the Duofold the top models of Duplex have a metal clip with enchased with a fine filigree decoration, which makes the Duplex a real jewel of the Italian style.
- ↑ there are some wrong references to this series as the Internazionale, for example in the Enrico Castruccio book La Penna.
- ↑ contrary to what Luca De Ponti argues in his book, the name chosen by the contest was not Duplex, but "Alata", as evidenced by this advertisement.
