Forest Green 45 - when I filled it, I switched to a wider nib. (it had the A nib installed, this is a M or B)

I bought, a few days ago, three of the French reissues in flighter version for $9 each (with F nibs). But have not been able to ink any as yet. Are the French reissued Vectors as good as the origional US and UK made ones?

 

It seems to be. Right now it's inked up with Monteverde Olivine, one of the samples I picked up at the Baltimore/Washington Show a few weeks ago (like the color, but the ink itself is given me nib creep, and crud issues akin to what people have with Diamine Ancient Copper).

My Dads old 1946 Parker 51 that my mom got for him when he returned home from WWll. A pencil was also in the set with his name engraved on both. I recently restored it w/ a new sac, a polishing & put in a medium nib. Inked it with Nooders Heart of Darkness. I think he would be glad to see Ive put it to good use after all these years.

Writes very smoothly...

Parker 51 Special

 

After a long time of regularly using Heros I thought it would be good to remind myself the feel of the original.
