L'azienda, al contrario della concorrente [[OMAS]], subì pesanti danni dai bombardamenti, nel [[1945]] gli impianti della sede di Via Basilica vennero distrutti da un incendio e le materie prime e gli archivi vennero persi, ma nonostante questo fu un grande sforzo per ricostruire le attività dagli stabilimenti di Strada dell'Abbazia di Stura, dove ancora oggi si trova l'azienda. Alla fine del [[1946]], seguendo di nuovo le tendenze del mercato dettate dall'introduzione del modello [[Parker 51|51]] della [[Parker]] anche l'[[Aurora]] introdusse un modello a pennino coperto. Affidata al design dell'architetto industriale [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcello_Nizzoli Marcello Nizzoli], la [[Aurora 88|88]] è uno dei capolavori della produzione dell'azienda ed ebbe un enorme successo.

The company, unlike the rival [[OMAS]], suffered heavy damage from bombing, the plants in Via Basilica were destroyed in [[1945]] and raw materials and archives were lost. But despite this after the war there was a great effort to rebuild the business. At the end of [[1946]], following the new market trends dictated by the [[Parker 51]], [[Aurora]] introduced an [[hooded nib]] model. The design of the pen was entrusted to the architect [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcello_Nizzoli Marcello Nizzoli]: the [[Aurora 88|88]] was a masterpiece of the [[Aurora]] production, and obtained a great success.  
    
The [[Aurora 88|88]] model was equipped with a very advanced [[piston filler]], with differential threads. The pen was made with a metal cap in both gold-plated metal or using an alloy of nickel and silver called ''[[Nikargenta]]''. The body was in celluloid with a transparent section, while the handle of the piston was in hard rubber. The [[Aurora 88|88]] was qualitatively and technologically far more advanced than a [[Parker 51|51]], the only plastic part was the sheath of the nib, and the feeder had a sophisticated supply system which allowed a regular ink flux.
