I have purchase two Parker 51's off of Ebay. I have soaked both overnight in soapy water with ammonia. I have loaded them with Noodlers Army Corp Black.

They both work. I suspect they could work much better. As I have no experience with how exactly they should perform, I had hoped to find someone who has experience to write with them and tell me how much they could be improved. This is not a look at my pictures guys. It is a hands on test.

I do not see any brand new nibs for the Parker 51 for sale. Another website has used re-ground nibs. Which I guess are excellent.

I might try to work on them myself. I usually work on my computer until I break it. Perhaps the pens deserve the better hands of someone who advertises here. I can see several possibilities. I probably ought to wait until September, when those guys have a shorter back log. I hope.

Thank you for any reply.

He is very good to deal with... a little slow answering emails, but definitely an upstanding Parker 51 person
