Ok, So I have seen a lot of opinions about the new Parker 51. I want to hear from people who actually own one. Is it worth it? Does the Converter/Cartridge really rattle around in the barrel? Is the steel a good writer for the money? How does the Gold perform?
I'm looking to buy one of these and wondering if it is worth it to get an original or if the new ones are good as well. I am more interested in the LOOK but do not want one of the knock off brands. I've never had a vintage pen before so getting an older one scares me a bit with the sacs and everything.
