Unusually I haven't got a P51/P61, so I'm reduced to having

  1. Parker Sonnet Chrome Finish, CT, with a stainless BI nib, Herbin scented Violet ink (which I can't smell but others can)
  2. Parker Duofold Centennial, Pearl & Black, BI nib, Parker Permanent Green Quink from the 1980's.

No photos, camera is somewhere safe at the moment. I just wonder where 'Safe' is...

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

These are my standbys at work:

 

-1946 Canadian Vac 51, black with lustraloy cap, Mont Blanc Blue-Black

-1947 Demi Vac 51, black with lustraloy, Waterman Florida Blue

 

Some days I'll bring others in just for fun, but these two are my workhorses.

The deskpen is a "51" Aero on a Magnetix base with a fine nib using Quink Blue/Black (although the nib is so fine that it tends to look more Black than Blue)

Today's shirtpen fp is a Cedar Blue "51" Aero with a fine/medium nib, same ink, Lustraloy cap. Yesterday's was a fine nibbed Cordovan Aero with a gold cap.

Parker 45 Flighter with a Gel refill (for the crossword puzzle, Jumble & Sudoku on the train)

- Black 1940 Vac Senior with a retipped CI nib. Filled with Aurora Black.

It is one of my best-writing pens, but I would hate to lose it, so I don't carry it outside the house or office too often.

 

- Parker 51 Flighter, filled with Diamine Red Dragon.

A 1990s vintage Black Duofold Centennial with a medium italic nib filled with Tanzanite.

The liberty of the press is indeed essential to the nature of a free state; but this consists in laying no previous restraints upon publications, and not in freedom from censure for criminal matter when published. Every freeman has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public; to forbid this, is to destroy the freedom of the press; but if he publishes what is improper, mischievous or illegal, he must take the consequence of his own temerity.

At last someone who carries a black duofold centennial. I can't believe everyone doesn't have one within arms reach at all times. Thanks Mickey. I also prefer the black duofold with gold raised bands and a med nib with a mix of noodlers red black and parker black

Just received today: 1947 P51 cordovan/GF converging, med nib with a wet line. Herbin blue myosotis ink.

 

Kind of sounds like car nuts talking, doesn't it? (Just no toxic chemicals involved)

Hey, what else could I put in a three pen case with the Namiki Falcon (EF, Asa Gao) and the resin and gold Aurora 88 (B, Ku-jaku)?

sharing my coffee mug of "daily writers" with an MB 149 and 146 and a pelikan M800 are my go-to parkers: a flexy 1935 burgundy standard, a superflexy "late" canadian black major, and a sterling silver 75, all with broad nibs ;)

      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
