What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[Eduardo]

I like the P65 flighter more than the P51 flighter .

 

I have some Parker Flighter`s: 45, 51, 61, 65, 75, 95, 180, Classic, Sonnet and Latitude...

Lovely - the pen and the drawing! Your 180 seems to be like mine, insignia with the non-stepped tassie. I should ink it soon, it's been too long. Feeling the love for the P180

I too am in your league of 180ers. I am having the pen in the same finish.

180s are nice pens, mine is xf/m nib, I could have preferred f/b nib.

Inked this one today for the first time. A very pleasant writer. I'll try my Edelstein Tanzanite next with this one.

 

Very, very nice drawings northstar.

Parker Duofold Senior (UK), M nib, inked with Quink Blue Black.

[pajaro]

Parker Jotter, broad refill.

[mitto]

Parker VP blue lustraloy cap (#63 nib). Inked for the first time with Parker Quink blue. Very smooth and wet writer despite the narrower tip size. This is the only VP that I bought NOS and boxed and that, until now, I was resisting the urge to ink it.

Using my only '51' with it's broad nib, ink being taken from a 'PaperMate' brand international cartridge, a very rich blue.

The nib behaves on Rhodia 80g, but feathers on anything less than that.

61, broad, capillary filler, Montblanc black ink. I have been using this for phone notes for a couple of weeks since the last fill.

[mitto]

A 61 and a 51. Quink blue and black respectively.

 

A 75 cislė and a Sonnet ciselė are also inked with Pelikan brilliant green and brilliant turquoise.

I have in rotation two P51 Aerometric [ blue with a med nib & grey with a fine nib ] and for back up to them is a Jotter imperial set [ one of 5 sets ] that I have and having fun with them at work.

Am trying a few mods to the nib of this old Vector, making the writing slightly italic, I'm not sure it shows on paper though.

[eliweisz]

A blue Slimfold with a rather scratchy fine nib which quite surprisingly turned out as flexible! If my initial thought was "Bad luck", now I think how lucky I am with this pen - and its larger siblings too. English Duofolds rock!

Hey, that's a nice color. Not one I think I've seen before. (Oh no! It's Vector hunting season again..... )

Parker 51, burgundy, really more like a carmine. Extra fine aero, product of Industria Argentina, as stated on the filler sheath. The red color is lighter than the black red of the USA version.

I would like to see this carmine looking Argentina made 51 of yours. Are there chances you would show us the pen?

[Mike 59]

Ruth, I think this is an unusual colour for a Vector, I believe it was a type of 'optional' colour, so not available in many shops in 1998/'99, (I'm thinking that online shopping had not started then.)

Also, it's a colour that many people wouldn't buy, although of course it would be a favorite for some too.

I have noticed that the lilac rollerball Vectors do show up online, so it might be easier to convert a roller to a fountain pen.

The only (slight) problem is that the inside of the cap has to be swapped over too, but it's not so tricky, given a pin, star screwdriver and about 15 minutes of time.
