I recently bought a Parker "51" Plum with a very nice medium nib. Very rarely have I seen these advertised at the sites that I frequent. However, last night I was browsing through Pentooling.com and they have for sale THREE Plum Parkers:

Standard sized with fine/medium nib
Demi set with medium/broad nib and matching pencil
Demi set with fine nib and matching pencil

So if you have been looking for a Parker 51 in the hard to find Plum color, and have some money to spare, this may be your opportunity.

YIKES! Those are pricy! I don't know if that's the going rate for Plummers these days, but if so, it's good I got mine when I did....

Yup, they are expensive. The fact that they were made for only one year contributes to their "hen's teeth" status. Lucky for me the one I bought was not so expensive:

The Plum P51 is the one in the foreground. The one in the background is a burgundy color with GF cap. As you can see, the color is hard to photograph clearly.

Found another Demi Plum at the penamie.com site for "only" 225 GBP. By today's exchange rate it comes out to about $297.00, not including postage. :rolleyes:

      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
