Would A Parker 65 Be Able To Be Used As A Desk Pen?

[Scripturam]

So to further explain what I am asking, I must start off by saying that I recently purchased two 14k gold Parker 51 desk pens. The particular pens I purchased have late model 51 sections that can be interchanged with cartridge Parker 61 or 65 sections. I am more fond of the 65 sections than the hooded 51 or 61 sections, therefore I am interested in purchasing a few 65 pens to swap the sections off these desk pens. They will be used with Parker 51 desk sockets.

 

I am curious if this is a *good idea*, as I am worried that the 65 sections may not work well being used as desk pens as I know that Parker seemingly never produced a Parker 65 desk pen before. Will their nibs have any problems with being in a desk pen tulip? Will the pens possibly leak?

 

Thank you in advance for any answers to these questions.

From a purely theoretical standpoint, I can't see a problem with it. I've got a period-appropriate tulip and a 65 that could do with an inking. Unless someone appears with a faster definitive reply, I'll get the latter stuffed into the former and let them sit together for a bit, then let you know the result.

Thank you, that will be extremely helpful.

DON'T DO IT! The point touches the bottom of the holder. Sorry that took so long-- I am distracted my many things.

Thank you for the response, this is unfortunate. At least the 51 sections write well.
