Parker Urban, black square-pattern gunmetal, with Iroshizuku Take-Sumi.

 

I know more people in this forum prefer the vintage offerings--both for performance and for looks. I bought this Urban on an extreme whim years ago at heavy discount, and never used it till now. And you know what--it's a darn good pen and despite the 'contemporary' style, mighty handsome too.

With kind regards,
-Matthew

I agree, I have two urban one sapphire and one premium in black, and I was surprised to see how well it performed and how smooth it was when I inked the sapphire one for the first time.

My rebuilt, feed and hood, '51' Aerometric, with a broad 14ct nib, which is extremely smooth on paper with any ink I've tried.

This bad boy. Seeing I sold all of the black Aero's I had at the Chicago Pen Show this past Friday.

This will have to be my new daily user at work until I find some more black P51's.

After more than a year, my black Parker 51 special finally got a hard start on the first stroke of a capital T with my Parker Quink black. Reckon it's time for a bath. Sorta disappointed. I really thought I'd get to 2020 like this for some reason. Or at least through the whole bottle. Or maybe I'm overreacting so I get an opportunity to tinker.

My favourite 51 today (well...today's favourite), the 1947 cedar blue vac with the big bold imprint and gorgeous blue diamond clip lustraloy cap.

A 1946 gold cap black 51 vac. It is unrestored and I seldom use it fearing the diaphragm may fail any time without any warning. Another Parker inked today is a beautiful C/C 61 insignia with a broad english nib.

Using this Sonnet 'Subtle Big Red', with Cross ink.

The nib writes, unusually, slightly 'finer' than medium, with a good balance in the hand.

Parker 100 in Opal silver. It took a lot of work to get this pen to write dependably (cleanings, different inks), but now that it works, it is a great pen.

'90 late duofold blue marble centennial. I think this pen is the one of the best modern fountain pen, and One of my favorite as well.

      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
