Traded My Parker 51 Demi For This

[siopaopei]

 

Parker 51s are probably my favorite fountain pens. It's just hard to find ones with medium nibs locally. All my Parker 51s have fine nibs and are demi-sized. So when my friend managed to acquire a full-sized Parker 51 with a medium nib, I happily asked for a trade and she obliged because she prefers fine nibs over medium ones. It feels really large in my hand, I think the demi suits my hand size better, but it's alright. It's not too large that it's uncomfortable. I'm really happy with the trade. The gold nib is really smooth and lays down a pleasant, wet line.

Any pictures of the nibs?

I'd say you did OK on that trade! And I agree, more pics!!

My friend has really, really small handwriting so she appreciated the trade a lot. Here are a few more photos. Sorry I wasn't able to wipe down the pen first, the nib's dirty.
