Hello guys,

 

I am trying to find which kind of converter works in a Parker T-1 and how I can get my hands on one.

 

Thank you very much for your help,

Most Parker converters will work. This includes the modern screw converters. The old squeeze style are best.

You are welcome Nikolaos. The T-1 is part of the Parker 75 family so any converter that fits a 75 will fit.

oh that's good to know ! Have you been using one? I am collecting primarily vintage Japanese pens but I always wanted a T-1. Of course I also love Parker 51s. I am wondering about the issues with the iridium falling off the nib and so on, how much people use their T-1s. I have a lot of collection pieces I don't use and keep as is , but the T-1 is a pen I would like to put to use.

Yes I use mine but not very often. I have had no issues with the nib but I don't rate it that highly, OK but not as good as a 51 or 75. The T-1 is a special pen, mainly due to it's rarity value, but not the best pen in the world. If you do decide to use it be very careful as you probably won't be able to get a replacement nib unit.

Peter , I have the option to get the pen for $30-$40. I say $30-$40 because $40 is the asking price of the shop owner but I know he will come down because I see the pen lying with him for a long time. Shall I get it for that price range? Also on offer is the Parker 180 in the same shop with the same price tag. Which one shall I buy or shall I go for both?

Khan, If you can get a T-1 for that price go for it. Obviously condition comes in to it but that is VERY cheap for a T-1. The 180 would be a good buy too, again, depending on condition.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
