They have a great variety of colors now! Orange, blue, gold, red, white, black and yellow. They are all good colors and good writers.

Today's pen is a Majohn A1 clipless in matte black, with a Pilot EF nib unit.

My pen of the day is a TWSBI Diamond Mini AL Mint Blue with 1.1mm stub nib filled with Diamine Soft Mint.

Taking lots of notes today with my Schon Pocket Six with a fine Franklin Christoph nib.  Fun pen for both writing and sketching.

@Waverly That's an interesting color.  I don't think I've ever seen a 51 quite that color (or is it just the lighting and it's really Navy Gray? -- since Dove Grey is a 51 Vac color).

Today for me it's mostly been one of the black 51 Vacs (one of the two pens with the "T6" code on them), .  I had misplaced it, but found it yesterday afternoon.  Just refilled it earlier today with vintage Quink Permanent Blue Black.  Even though it had been missing for the better part of a week, it started right up this morning -- just didn't have enough ink in it to finish morning pages (that got finished with what I think is a Waterman Exclusive, F nib (a pen I didn't remember having until recently) which is inked up with some of the vintage Skrip Royal Blue I picked up at an antiques shop last weekend).

Montegrappa Brenta, Waterman Gentleman, Waterman Expert, Pelikan M600 black tortoise, and my wife’s Visconti Van Gogh. None of these pens were all they could and should have been, so they went to see Kirk Speer on Saturday. All but one of these pens sat uninked because they were no fun to write with. Kirk fixed that. I can’t recommend his work highly enough, each of these is marvelous now.

  Today I have used my Wahl-Eversharp Symphony 913, and am testing a converter in a Unic brand pen that belongs to a friend. She couldn’t find any cartridges or converters that fit, so I offered to take it home with me and see if I had anything that fit. It turned out that Herbin fits, as I think it’s a French brand, that tracks. A Chinese converter fits as well, so I bundled up an empty Herbin cartridge, a Larmes de Cassis cartridge, and the converter with the Fine nibbed Unic to take to the Hub for her. This pen is a wonderful writer so far.

It was a bad photo.  The pen is more of Dove Gray than a Navy Gray because I have both and can compare them. However this is an English "51" so who knows what Parker did 70 years ago.

May I ask for your comments about this pen? I have been thinking of buying one but for one or another reason it has been postponed. Thanks.

At work with my green Jinhao 159, filled with Private Reserve, Sherwood Green.

Waterman Gentleman, Fine nib with Waterman Inspired Blue. The Waterman’s from this period are so wonderful. I need to acquire a Le Man 200 to complete this trifecta.

CS Belliver with a broad nib that writes like it has a medium nib. This pen is inked with Diamine Regency Blue.
