Hey everyone...

Ok, I'm convinced (thanks to my antique shop P61) that I need a P51. I'm looking for a P51 Aero (possibly a Vac, but that will take some convincing) to use everyday. I've got my eye on the usual channels, but I wanted to see what's here, too. Tasteful cap engravings ok, slight cap dings may be ok too (with appropriate value adjustments). Prefer Lustraloy caps w/o gold trim. Prefer the barrel not to have engravings. Color not very important...Cedar is nice, Black, Dove, Red or ??? may work too. Fine/XF nibs would be ideal, but hey, I'm flexible on most things for the right everyday companion, as long as they're smooth and reliable fillers/writers.

Please PM with details if you have something that may interest me. Also have a LNIB VP (Blue Carbonesque, M), a LNIB Safari (Charcoal, M), and some inks I would trade for the right pen, +/- cash where appropriate, and would prefer a trade to a purchase (I have too many pens as it is) but again, I'm flexible! The worst I can say is no, and I'll appreciate all offers!

Thanks for looking!!

Still looking. Midnight, Navy, maybe even a Flighter (last preference, but I might be talked into it.)

Doesn't need to be perfect, but a good nib and functioning filler are a must. Surely there's a user-grade Aero out there looking for a good home!

Thanks!

Oh! I can't edit my original post, but the VP is gone!

Hi King,

I have a teal blue aero with fine nib and lustraloy cap that I've fully restored. Give me a day to look it over and get a pic for you (make sure it's ready to go--I sometimes loose track!). (I have many vacs too.) I can send pic easiliest via email (see mine below). I would consider inks (but not pens) in (partial) trade. Value of pen is $85 delivered CONUS....

Best,

Steve
