What Parker Are You Using This Day?

Dove gray 51 Vac Demi, Waterman's blue black. Fine, wet nib. Gold filled cap. With the cap posted, this pen has a great feel.

Black P51 cartridge/converter with F nib and lustraloy cap, c1960, with black Quink. It writes as well as every other P51 I have, so I can only presume the conjecture must be correct about it's "cheaper" image preventing it from achieving the same sales success as its traditional brethren.

Got my first 45 yesterday, a burgundy with the two-tone cap, and have been using it all day. It's a real pleasure! It's a 14k wet medium I got for a steal on eBay, and I'm keeping my eye out now for an olive version.

Parker 45, F nib, with diluted Andersons Ink Green Bay. Like TeaHive's pen, this one is also burgundy, but this one doesn't have the GF trim on the cap. The nib was replaced at Susan Wirth's table at DCSS because the original nib was missing the tipping on one side.

I just dipped my newly restore duofold junior and used it to write some notes as well as try out how well the repairer tuned the nib.

I used my P51 MKIII maroon aero very nice if I do say so myself. :)

      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
