Been lurking a bit lately, so decided to jump in to see what I can learn...

I have some Duponts, Pelikans, Montegrappas, Namikis, Classics and Parkers.

Thank you all for the welcome.

Please let me in on a secret, how do you stop PAS (Pen Acquisition Syndrome)?

Welcome, Gonzo. A Parker 51 Vacumatic, Dove Gray & Lustraloy, eh? That's the very pen, given to me by an uncle, that got me started on fountain pens so many years ago. Wish I knew what became of it. =(
