The English-made Parker 51 is one of my favorite models. Living in the US, I have far more opportunity to find US-made 51s. But when I find an English 51, it is a great thrill. Hope the photo attaches. The 5 on top left are vac-fill; the others are all aerometric, including 2 with rolled silver caps, and 4 "bloody red" burgundy 51s. As has been noted in another thread, the English 51s have nibs which many find superior to all other 51s.

Congratulations!

These pens tend to multiply...I got my first one for last Christmas and now there are 4 of them in my pen case. :yikes:

Breeding likes rabbits evidently.

I love the nibs on these English 51s. I have just finished restoring two of these. A cedar blue vac and a black aero. And, I have just lost count of my 51s.:)

      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
