1949 "51" Forest Green from England with a sweet Medium nib, filled with Quink Blue Black. And just about empty, a nice little EF nibbed 1950 "51", also in Forest Green from USA. It has Edelstein Smoky Quartz in it... one of my letter writing friends blessed me with a page written with a similar combination and it had a wonderful vintage look to it.

Inked my Mandarin Duofold Centennial today with Iroshizuku Tsutsuji and was inspired to post on the forum for the first time in eons. One of my favorite pens...

1948 Parker 51 forest green (US made) with the Broadest nib I have ever seen on a USA made 51 and a English made 1950 P51 BBB with the brodest stub nib I have ever seen on an English 51. Both are truly monster nibs. Enjoying using them and consuming the pages of my notebook(s) with the speed of a bullet train. :)

A very ordinary Parker 51 in Burgundy, not sure of the date but after 1957. Bought as in need of attention but now restored and working very nicely with a broad and wet nib.

 

Easy to forget how good these pens are.

It is fun to buy 51 in need of attention and restoraring them. Is it the American burgundy or the BBB?

The English pen, I had an american vac 51 in Fine in use last week, the english aero broad this week, good wet flow and so smooth. I was hesistant to use it because it had not been used, although the cap and barrel were scruffy.

Jet Black Danish Parker Duofold AF, guessing late 40s'-early 50s, with a fine nib and Montblanc Permanent Black. Great for papers at work :)

I'm using a lovely Parker 65 Insignia with a stub nib that's wonderful.

English made Parker 45 Insignia with 14k Z nib and USA made Parker 45 Insignia With 14k D nib. Love writing with these so-called Parker student pens.

      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
