Parker Vector

[mitto]

A English made NOS gold capped burgundy (BBB?) P51 MKIII with nice broad stub nib.

I used to not like the MKIII 51s but after acquiring a few good examples, I found they not only look good but also write good.

Yellow would look good with a gold cap.

Parker Victory Mk 1, not the most beautiful pen but with a wondrous nib.

[inkstainedruth]

1st Generation Vacumatic Junior (the Red Shadow Wave lockdown filler), and the newly repaired black Laidtone Duofold Vac Junior (?) (Speedline filler). Both pens currently filled with Waterman Mysterious Blue.

I think it's interesting how different the pens are, considering that they were manufactured roughly four years apart: 4th quarter 1937 and (I think) 2nd quarter 1941 respectively; and yet they still share a similar type of fill system.
