Parker Jotter Fountain Pen. Worth It?

[Olya]

It's a nice looking pen! What year did Parker start making jotter fountain pens?

Ca. 1980, so it's been around for a while

Found a place that is selling NOS Parker Jotter and Parker 15 pens that were manufactured in the UK. From what I can discern, they seem to be the same exact pen but under different names.

 

I want to buy one, but am not really sure which model to pick, the Jotter Flighter or the 15 in Matt Black GT trim. Which is more durable?

 

I've got a Vector Flighter that has been doing the rounds for the better part of 13 years and its still going strong.

Bought this week the red and blue new jotter 2018 fountain pen, look good, writing good so far.

Checked at my Staples and they didn't have it but if they do get them in stock, I will certainly try one!

Parker and Aurora cartridges are interchangeable. Aurora blue is an everyday favorite of many of us. I’ve recently fallen for their new Blue-Black and use it in all my Parker 51’s. Aurora black is near legendary. Aurora, waterman, sheaffer& Parker are among the inks we classify as safe for almost every pen.

There are lots of other great inks out there. Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a Parker converter. It will greatly increase your selection of inks.

Yes, the jotter fp is worth the money. I like the fine nib. It is kind of a small pen but it has character and writes great!
