Using my 1944 Parker Duofold Vacumatic Ingenue today before I take it out of rotation, for a bit of time off.

Good. Looks like your theory is correct.

Another observation :

 

Your MKIII 51 has the thin (clutch?) ring separating between barrel and section/hood in gold. So the cap on the pen should be either gold filled/ rolled gold or a lustraloy with a gold clip.

U.S. made Mk III had always gold plated clutch rings, equal if in combination with gold plated caps or lustraloy caps.

Another black P51 but this one is a demi special with a hoop filler and a broad/medium

octanium nib. Still writes nicely with the unknown black ink it was last filled with

before me

Parker 51 aerometric in burgundy with Montblanc Lavender Purple

Parker 51 194 gold Signet with M nib that is writing very wet with Levenger's Cobalt Blue in it! Just got it in a great deal from a seller on eBay, along with a blue/gold pencil from around the same time period, with 0.9 mm lead. Love them both. Great additions to my 51 collection! A burgundy and chrome 51 of the same time period was the first (all be it used) store bought fountain pen I ever got for myself, at a flea market in 1969/70! It has been back to Parker repair once to fix a split in the chrome cap, but it's still in great working order and is my No 1 best love pen! Even with all the other 51's and my Pelikan collection, plus many others. A collection will grow when you are seeking the best writing instruments for yourself or when you just can help yourself and have to have every beautiful looking writing "stick" you see!

Parker Sonnet Terra Cotta with 18K broad italic nib. Actually fun.

[Eccles]

French P75 in graine d'orge, M nib, narrow gold band section, no date code; user grade due to a barrel tassie dent and slight brassing, courtesy of previous owner(s), but still a pleasure to write with.

Duofold Aerometric with ballpoint

 

[JotterAddict62]

A P51 ballpoint. [ Note ] The barrel not a 1st Gen. Just a cap actuated barrel from a P45

[inkstainedruth]

This morning it was the newly reissued French-made Parker Vector, M nib, and Robert Oster Black Violet.

Love the pen, but the ink is very dry.
