Currently Inked March 12, 2025: Aurora 88, Lamy 2K Stainless, Parker 45, and a Vintage (?) Aurora

Four new fountain pens that I inked up this week, including quick writing samples of the pens and matching inks. This week's "Currently Inked" includes old favorites such as the Aurora 88 Sigaro Blu and the Lamy 2000 in Stainless Steel, as well as two "new" vintage pens that I picked up in the past two years but have not yet put into rotation. One is a classic Parker 45 with a 14k nib that I bought for $65 at the Dallas Pen Show, and the other is an Aurora from the Archivi Storici collection, which I believe is a slimmer version of the vintage Aurora 88 since it has the same nib. The pen did not come with a box so I do not know the exact model. Help is appreciated. This is either a new old stock vintage pen or a modern reproduction using vintage components.
