Today's Parker is my Parker 45, which has a fine/medium italic nib I ground from a factory fine, it is inked with Diamine's Ancient Copper.

Ohhhh, that's pretty; it is the first two-tone '51 I've seen. Very nice. Welcome aboard!

Love the two-tone pen!! I have my own P51 demi vac in Dove Grey that now has a Cocoa aero hood. xD

 

Alas, I'm not using it today. Today's Parker is the humble Frontier in Matte Black GT with a fine nib.

Unknown Green Parker 51 Aerometric. Was NOS until today. Using Black Cherry Private Reserve Ink. If you like Onions on your Hot Dog or Hamburger here is a great recipe. If you cannot find Vernors the great Ginger Ale of Detroit. You could use Ginger Ale or better yet if you have access to Kentucky's Ale-8-One Ginger Ale use it. Topping also works great with Coke.

I'm using a freshly restored (with a nib install from Ron Zorn) Parker X. As I was digging around, I found (and I think this is correct) that my black Lucky Curve with the horizontal lines is actually called Parker X. It has an intact lucky curve feed.

 

And, I learned today that when Parker cut the original feed to repair it, they notched the bottom of the feed as a signature of a factory altered feed. I'm hoping I got correct info, since it was pretty interesting.

The Filghter might be a pen produced around 2006 and it is fitted with a 1960s nib in good condition.

 

The other one is a 1960s pen and has a rescued 1960s nib.

Before I get confused, is the MkII 61 a c/c pen?

My Parker troika has me writing happily today ... ran right out of ink on one – that's a lot of writing for one sitting.

• Parker 51 Special, Mottishaw-tuned F nib, Parker Quink Black ink

• Parker Sonnet, F nib, Diamine Sapphire Blue ink

• Kullock 51, M-ish nib, Binder Burgundy ink

 

Just a dandy set of round-pointed nib pens. I generally prefer stubs because I feel like they make my writing more legible. But these are smooth-writing, without being sooooo smooth that I slide around like an Alabama hound on a frozen lake. So my handwriting is legible with these particular round-pointed nibs.

 

These pen and ink combinations work very well with "M by Staples" premium writing pads. Narrow-ruled 20-lb. paper. Pleasurable writing experience.

It is not.
