Parker 51 with steel nib, loaded with Pelikan black.

 

Oops. I do not know how this happened. Sorry.

Steel nib ? Is it A P 51 or P21; alternatively does it have a P21 nib , because the P51 had a 14 ct nib ?

Used my new VP today with the blue cart that came with it. Nice pen and wonderful fine lines. Wasn't as comfortable to the hand as my little Pelikan M215. Nib was pretty good too, but hard to compare anything to my Binderized Peli CI .7mm (my current love -- or is that lust).

Yes, it is a Parker 51 "Special". I found (bought) it in a flea market in Greenwich, England. I learned later that the nib is called an Octanium nib.

 

At the time of purchase, I was not sure what to make of it. But, it looked interesting and the nib was smooth on a "dry write", so I took the chance. It could have been an over priced fake or a reasonable "good find".

That explains it. A very good find, very few were sold out here, with the Octanium nib.
