Another famous model, much sought by collectors, is the [[Etiopia]], that was reported to be introduced in 1935 during the Abyssinia invasion made by the fascist regime in its policy of colonial expansion. It has been told that in that occasion [[Aurora]], which was rather linked to the regime using its slogans in the advertising, launched a special pen for the soldiers sent to Africa. Because of this the pen was an [[eyedropper filler]] equipped with a reservoir on the barrel to hold dried ink tablets. The ink could be obtained dissolving the tablets in the body of the pen adding water. The pen was made of white celluloid and the cap had an incision of the roman empire eagle mark.

But the story of a pen made for the soldiers sent in Africa, often used to underline the importance and rarity of the model, is just a fake, because the [[Etiopia]] was introduced only in [[1936]], when the war was already finished. So the model was just a clever marketing move, done to take advantage of the war propaganda, and also if [[Etiopia]] in not so common, it cannot be considered between the most rare [[Aurora]] models.
