I have several pencils, mainly Parkers dating from 1970. A stainless flighter, a stainless Flighter, a Sterling Imperial Flighter, a Mont Blanc ( I love their leads)and a gold filled Sonnet which is the easiest to use. I also have a 1950's Conway Stewart and dad's Eversharp which he was given in 1938 as 21st present. I use dad's pen to graphite the stems of my pipes. I like the pencil for notes on papers for court. Two reasons, my adversary cannot read it at the Bar table, and a clerk might have inadvertantly put an original document in the brief. I gave away a P51 pencil to a mate who lost his, and used a pencil daily.

I am using an old Sheaffer which utilizes 0.9mm lead which is easy enough to find in the Pentel brand.

Parker VS with Pentel 0.9mm 2B lead

 

I found this pencil in an absolutely mint cosmetic condition, but the twist action was broken... I dismantle it and was succeded to fix it.

 

I've never fixed a mechanical pencil... Fix a fountain pen - any one - is a baby game comparing to a twist action pencil...
