More form filling today, so using my trusty Parker 15 with a Quink washable black cartridge.

[pajaro]

Three Parker Insignias with fine nibs.

[Captivelight]

Today's pen of choice is a Parker 75 Ciselle with a Broad Italic nib loaded with Diamine Macassar ink. Thought I'd have a change for today.

[Vendome]

Parker 88 with Quink Blue/Black, and my Vector U.K Gent with Quink Washable Blue.

[Gerd W]

Today it's a Parker 75 Barleycorn silverplated, purchased brand-new in 1991. Though I normally prefer the weight of the lacquered ones

and my Ciselé, I do love this beautiful thing. Also it writes fantastic and fairly wet with it's M-nib and Quink blue-black. Pure pleasure!

I'm using a red Parker Vac Jr. with lockdown filling system and red shadow wave pattern.Nib is almost a medium.

[Gerd W]

Parker Duofold Centennial from approx. 1990, black with M-nib.

[Vendome]

I'm re-inking my Vector Batman pen, but it's not having it.

It must still be hung over from last night.

Parker Frontier Quink blue-black

Parker Jotter Quink blue

Parker Reflex Quink Black

 

Looking forward to getting my Sonnet back from France so I don't feel a little embarrassed that my Parker collection being so modest.

 

Never be embarrassed to own three dependable pens regardless of their perceived monetary value (or lack thereof). Having owned plenty of expensive pens that are dry in a day or two, I cherish the trustworthy workhorses that I can lean on at a moment's notice.

 

Today, I wrote checks in public with my 4Q 1948 51 black Aero. The poor uneducated public never know the majesty that quietly performed flawlessly and undramatically right before their eyes.

My trusty Jotter!

[ajcoleman]

Black lacquer Sonnet with 18 ct fine nib, with Waterman black ink. Also carrying the matching 0.5 mm pencil. Sometimes it feels a bit dressy for work, but they write so well it is hard to leave this set at home.

[JotterAddict62]

45 cap-actuated Jotters, 45 FP & Jotter with a pencil cartridge in it. When i finish this post a P51 to write the Birthday card to my Niece.

I'm fairly new to the hobby, but I went shopping with my girlfriend last night and found a Parker IM, and I was so taken that I caved and bought it. So I brought that with me to class today and then I bought a converter and some Parker Quink Blue/Black because I'm weak. Love the pen though!

[DrCodfish]

I bought that P51- the .T.6 model from Greg Minuskin with the 1.0mm stub nib. Black with a brushed steel cap and polished cap ring. This pen looks just like new and some how it seems, whenever I stop to look in my hand, there it is. Currently filled w/Diamine Bilberry, this pen and ink combo makes a dramatic statement on the paper. I think it may be a while longer befor I 'get over' this one.

[Flounder]

Refilled my 45 flighter pencil with one of the free leads from my new (£4!) 0.5 Kurutoga
