Parker Falcon 50 flighter with broad nib which was a NOS acquisition. Just inked with Visconti blue. Very smooth.

A Parker Flighter 45, with Edlestein Tanzanite Ink (Blue Black)

[hari317]

Today it is a USA made Aero Signet 51 with a 5.0 date code. Part of a pen-pencil set. the cap press actuated pencil has a 9 date code.

A Thuya Parker 75late French production. Ive had it since 1990 as a new pen as a gift. Medium nib. Ive only recently tweaked the nib and ink to make it go better. It likes Gentian Violet or Methylene Blue in DI/RO water. Im not sure what w/v percent yet. 0.4 is still paler than I want. I will try higher concentrations tomorrow if I get a little free time.

Televisor today. It was nice restoring this pen.

1948 Parker 51 Plum with gold cap, 1950 English Parker 51 BBB with gold cap and a flat top P75 Ciselè with #66 nib.

51 Flighter with matching pencil. The pen is inked with Lamy Dark Lilac. Very nice medium nib.

[mitto]

Same pens as in post #2347.

Hari, that is a really attractive looking pen! Love the barrel material/design.

Today it was the multicolor Parker Vector (the one that looks like a Mondrian painting), F nib, with diluted KWZI IG Gummiberry; and the Azure Blue Pearl Speedline filler Vac, with what I'm really starting to think is an F/M nib, with vintage Quink Microfilm Black.

thank you. That's the beauty of celluloid, looks good even after so many decades.

This Juicy Broad Maxima is my companion today.

Parker Duofold Centennial MKI

A rather elderly English P61 Jet Flighter. Warped hood, and someone tried to rub away the arrow setting once the arrow dropped out. Metal jewels.

 

Writes beautifully, if somewhat dry.
