I recently acquired this Parker 100 set for a decent price. I have to say I am very impressed by the quality of these pens.

 

Technically I am not using it as I don't have any proprietary Parker cartridges to hand, nor did the pen come with a converter. I understand I need the "deluxe" converter which can be easily be acquired (if anyone can confirm that would be appreciated )

 

I assume the Deluxe Converter you are referring to is the same one sold today. They are common, I saw it for sale on Amazon.

 

You can search for Parker Deluxe Converter on the internet.

 

As an aside, I dislike the Parker Standard Converter. It is the "push/pull" converter.

Parker 25 with medium nib and Parker black cartridge.

Yes that is right, the current version, thanks. This is a fairly modern pen.

Just inked a dark green English Duofold AF with a stubby #30 nib. It is a lovely writer.

My lovely Parker Vacumatic Debutante in Pearl Brown with a rather flexy nib inked with Montblanc Toffee Brown.

Well, I'm cheating. Only this one is currently inked, and it's not mine (yet):

A Parker Premier aka Depression fountain pen, inked with Quink Blue. An exceptional pen, exceptional nib.

[Jerome Tarshis]

A 75 Custom, with Waterman black ink, and a Super 21 with Pelikan 4001 black ink. For now, at least, the less expensive pen is the better writer of the two.

I think you should get one. All English Duofolds, no matter the size, are lightweight, simple, and perfectly balanced. You'll enjoy their softish Northampton nibs.

Gorgeous collection! One of these days I'll have a couple Duofolds. Love them!

Thank you very much. I think both pens have a lot of character.

Thanks! An English Duofold is a penny well spent
