Parker 51 aero - Black w/gold-filled cap, and a medium nib. I got this at auction, thinking I'd resell it, but when I got it, it's REALLY clean. I may keep this one. It really writes beautifully.

Given that anything besides an F nib is generally hard to find out there in 51 Land, you might do very well to keep it. Aero or vac filler?

I found some recently during a "stationery stuff collecting and organizing session" :) Can't tell their exact "subtypes", except for the 45 one.
I decided to "adopt" and use a Parker 45 pencil (red-silver with golden trim and "nib ring", that one can be seen on the photo). There is a little "Y" above Made in UK, don't know why.
Also found two black silver pencils from 2000 (date code Q.I), with cap.

 

Pens found:

- full stainless steel with Q.I code (2000) (I like this one the most out of the pens)

- dark red with missing clip, no date code, Made in England graving

- dark red with Made in USA graving (it was my grandmother's, she was born in the 1920s)

- black silver with A.III (2002) code and the "temporary" less famous logo.

I prefer stubbed nibs to regulars, but I've been having some fun lately with my two Parker 51s. Been a while since I wrote with them, and when I grabbed them, they just wrote – and pretty luxurious. Yup, these are great pens.

Currently put this Sonnet back into rotation. I swapped the medium nib for a broad 18 K from an older model. Ink is Pelikan Edelstein Smoky Quartz.
