For Currently produced converters probably yes. History they had the squeeze type in slim and fat. The fat ones fit the 45, 75 etc but not the slim pens like the 180. But the fatter ones held more ink. My favourites. 

I had problems with a older model fat converter fitting into the barrel of a Parker Urban.  I suspect that the newer twist converters wouldn't be a problem though.  But the connection with the back of the feed is I think the same on all Parker converters.

They dare because they have got you by the b*lls ... Just don't buy the pen and they may learn ...

Maybe not everyone wants to use bottled ink and so not everyone wants a converter.

Don't buy the pen.

I must admit that I am underwhelmed by the new, Ersatz, Parker 51. 

 

Why do an inferior reproduction of the original 51?  The only thing I don't mind is that it comes with a converter.

 

The gold nibbed versions are expensive - I'll think I will stay with my original 51's.

 

It will be interesting to see if this "experiment" by Parker is a success.

"Don't buy it," they say; HAAAA!

As if I didn't already mess up & pre-order it long ago 🤣

 

Just wait calmly, get it, try it and then... sell it if you don't like it ;)

I will keep mine under any circumstances because I want that sample for my Parker collection ;) even if I may not like it

All the best is only beginning now...

oh I don't sell my pens = )

TECHNICALLY I will sell them individually for like 69 million dollars a piece PLUS the 50,000.99 fee for shipping and handling hahaha. Only way a pen leaves my life is if I gift it, or if it gets destroyed or if I accidently lose it❤️ I'm glad you're keeping yours 👍 Hopefully you never run into a situation that compels you to even consider getting rid of it!

& yeah you better believe I'm going to be using it left & right hahahahah

THE WORST THING I'M GOING TO DO TO IT... IS... TAKE IT APART PRETTY MUCH AS SOON AS I GET IT

I want to see that nib

it's gonna happen folks

I'm gonna attempt it using plenty of patience+hot water

thinking

about how I'm going to accidently break the most expensive pen and I've ever had in my whole life is the most stressful thing in my life right now. AND

THAT

is how I know my life is actually really frinkin' nice and that I should not complain about ANYTHING❤️

life is good ❤️❤️👍❤️❤️

hopefully they're build well enough to survive ME hahahaha

I think it’s really nice, in its modern context, appreciating from a historical perspective. For someone collecting modern Parkers, it’s good. Of course I don’t compared with knockoffs and try to argue on value. The price among modern pens is nothing outrageous.

the London Architecture jotters I got were all Made in France.

 

I bought the red one and I have to say I am very disappointed. The engraved lower section is uncomfortable to hold. Well, perhaps unpleasant is the better word. It feels matte and has a fine sandpaper feeling. The pen is also very light. From what I remember Jotters were heavier than that?

Hi P&P,

 

Your memory is correct. The original Jotters had brass threading; were girthier and heavier than what their making now. They also had a chrome tip. (The overall build quality was better back in the '70s and early '80s).

The original Jotter didn’t have a metal tip, brother Sean.
