A double jewel one?

[Matlock]

Yes Kahn. I had it fully serviced by The Battersea Pen Home in 2014 and it is like a new pen, has performed perfectly ever since.

Enjoy writing with your lovely P51, Peter.

I was playing with a Centenial this week:

Hard habit to kick. Once again, I have inked my 1947 Parker 51, dove grey, gold filled cap, fine nib and using Noodler's Old Manhattan black ink. Maybe my favorite combo.

Parker Vector ........... poor me

 

Hey, you say that like it's a bad thing! I LOVE my Vectors! I have nearly a dozen at this point, including a 4 nib unit calligraphy set and one of the newly re-issued French-made ones (purple! I just HAD to have it... ). They're great for testing inks, and they tend to be little workhorses. I especially like using them with iron gall inks.

Would I want to write the Great American Novel with that skinny a pen? Probably not. But proofreading the (handwritten) first draft? Sure.

This week I have been using a dark grey Parker 45 GT with a medium 14k nib, filled with Diamine Registrar's IG ink, with the matching pencil of course.

[Jerome Tarshis]

A Super 21 with a fine-to-medium Octanium nib. It's my most recent acquisition, and its nice unused ink sac does what converters do: it holds the column of ink away from the nib and feed. With longer use, it should get used to being in contact with ink, and behave better.

 

Parker Newhaven supplied the Slimfold with a couple of rods inside the sac, to prevent the ink from hanging up. I think Parker might have been well advised to do the same thing for a number of other slim pens with squeeze filling.

A 1948 P51 aero with a M nib.

[Sasha Royale]

This is the Parker 51 part of my collection. I have three Vacumatic, and three Aerometrics. I love the writing experience of this part of my collection. I always hate to leave it. Esterbrooks next.

[inkstainedruth]

This morning it was the new French-made purple Vector (M nib), more or less finishing up the fill of diluted Monteverde Olivine.

Yesterday it was the English-made Navy Grey 51 Aero (OB nib), with Diamine Flower Collection Aster. Forgotten just how much I like that ink color....

My newish to me Parker 51 Gold filled 48 aerometric with Quink Blue Black ink. Super fine nib!
