Hello! I am quite new to fountain pens and I started with a Parker 95, that I received as a present. In the last month I am struggling though with a problem. My pen is leaking and my hands are all inky(I am using Parker permanent ink). The grip is not dirty and I do not touch the nib and it(the nib) looks quite clean(compared to my friends pen, which does not leak, a Parker 88), the convertor empties pretty quickly and when I take the barrel off, I see the convertor and everything stained with still wet ink. I do not change altitudes and I transport it only nib up or sometimes I let it nib sideways(horizontaly). I will try using a cartridge and update the topic, but for now, there is no day without getting my hands dirty. You have some pictures attached below, in the links as how the pen looks when I got home. Do you have any ideas as of why this happens? When I spin the converter it does not look like ink gets past the seals. Thanks in advance!

A few months back I asked the forum what this mysterious pen was and it turned out to be a Parker 95, which is currently discontinued. I want to get more use out of that pen now but I really hate the suction... converter... thing. Is there a piston converter that goes with a 95? I know it's a model from two decades ago and maybe converters weren't a thing, so pen companies probably didn't consider that when designing their pens.

I have recently purchased a Parker 95 Flighter which has a date code of TE which is 3 years before this model was officially launched. I'm sure it's a 95 and not an Arrow as it has the single feathered clip. It came in the original box which is labelled 95 S/S G/T which is the correct description. Any thoughts from anyone who may know why this is the case.
