I was using a 1st Gen yellow mustard Jotter at work the other night along with two P51 Areo's.

I better not forget the Parker international pencil.

I have a 4 pen pen case that I carry in my pocket every night at work so I rotate every so often.

A Parker 75 Imperial gold plated finish with broad nib and a flat tassie Parker 75 sterling silver sicelé with medium nib. Both loaded with Waterman black and serenity blue respectively.

A Parker Victory Mk 1, with a lovely, soft nib that is supposedly flexible, but I write with such a light hand and have such a terror of damaging the nib that I probably will never put it to the test.

Newbie here.

 

I have my trusty Parker Sonnet in Matte black that I've had for 15 years and still going strong as my daily writer. :D

Yesterday I was doing some research and taking lots of notes, so it was the 51 Vac with the EF nib that I had Ron Zorn repair at last year's Triangle Pen Show, refilled the day before with vintage Quink Microfilm Black.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

A little piece of pen history in my pocket.

1949 Parker 51 Flighter.

The first pen of the Flighter series.

This attractive and innovative pen withstood the test of time to become an icon of American ingenuity.

Inspired by flight, powered by vision.

Hopefully, it will keep me mindful of the elegant balance of form and function in my daily endeavors.

 

If interested, Richard Binder's page on the Flighter.

Pens can be beautiful and when in the right hand, magical too.... nice work.

Using my new birthday present for letter writing today. Ink is Sailor Souten, a nice contrast methinks.

Thank you very much.

I likes it. Is it a newer Duofold with the spade nib?

Yes it is. It's a 2016 model, I bought for a very attractive price from Amazon since they're already selling the 2017 models.

Using a USA 1947 Parker 51 short demi (5") Vacumatic M/F nib and Pelikan 4001 Blue/Black (from England.)

 

Currently having a renewed love affair with my 51's.

Fair winds and following seas.

Nice. I said some harsh things about them new Duofolds...

 

But they seem to be much better than I thought they would be.

 

I'll try one out someday.

Is it a Bexley or somethin'? (A repro of some sort? Sorry... No Parker logo on clip.)

It was made in the early 1930s, I have been collecting pens since 1964 and this is the only one I have seen.
