Today's pen is a late 1960's British Parker 51 Mk III teal with gold filled cap and a broad nib loaded up with Quink Blue Black.

 

Need more MkIII 51's for the collection.....

Hi I am a citizen of India and there are really very cheap pens available here .

I use a Reynolds rs. 30 (less than 1$) grippy model which writes extremely smooth and a parker 2$ beta fountain

 

There is a online shop for this pens? I want also some piston filler Walit pens.

 

Today I'm using Montblanc Monte Rosa and Lamy 2000, both in Sheaffer Black (Slovenia) ink

1949 Midnight Blue Parker 51 with a gold filled cap fine nib filled up with Noodlers Baystate Blue. A really nice combination that works well with me. Don't know what the fuss is about.

Bought it yesterday. Filled it with Quink Blue. Really got to use it today. Loved it. Fits perfectly with my Moleskine, no bleeding at all, no feathering.

 

I am delighted.

All Parkers, today: my fine '60s 45 flighter and the (lovely) Parker 100 I received yesterday. (The more I use this one, the more I like it, frankly. It has a slightly fat and very smooth fine nib of the sort I'm keen on.) Both full of Waterman black.

[Robert Hughes]

All Parkers, also. I just received three Sonnets to study and try to figger out the "Sonnet Syndrome" on them. So far, no news - they seem to work fine, with either 18k or steel nibs. Stay tuned...

Waterman #12 POC Eyedropper from a century ago, with Waterman Blue-Black ink, for note taking of my recent readings on the evolution of manuscripts.

 

Sheaffer Targa I bought yesterday (see Sheaffer forum), for entries in my diary.
