What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[robofkent]

45 black/GT Medium nib 2008 date code

Premier Black Edition 2010 date code

[richardandtracy]

Black P51 Aero/Lustraloy cap with a broad CI nib. The nib is nice & soft, making the modern Duofold italic nibs seem hard & unresponsive.

 

Ink is Diamine Imperial Purple.

Sonnet terracotta with small dent and broad italic nib.

Hi pajaro, I'm glad you have kept this pen, it's very nice, even with a small dent, IMHO!

[Flounder]

Black English P51 vacumatic with rolled gold cap. At some point in its life, someone fitted a blue diamond clip, my first!

I have an inexplicable liking for this pen. I like it even better than its mate, the Blue Ice.

 

I put the medium nib section back in it. It writes like a nice fine. The barrel color is warm, and the cap is pretty. It's just used enough to use without worry. I am happy to have it, but, if the seller had described the dent, I would have passed it up. The nib and section are worth the price alone, though.

Sheaffer-Legacy and Peklian M800 are on my table.

Parker at home.

Parker 51 plum Aerometric with diluted Diamine Denim (I didn't get the pen cleaned as quickly as I meant to , and that seemed to be a safer alternative to either letting the pen dry out entirely or refilling when there might be dried or drying ink in the pen).

I have a few too many pens inked up at the moment, but that is really the only thing from putting my 45 back into rotation -- there are some inks I want to try in it. Plus, I kinda miss using it. Just got the Vacumatic flushed out last week, and trying to decide if I should put something in it now (De Atramentis Rose might be nice) or wait till I can get a bottle -- or at least a sample -- of Wateman Mysterious Blue, which is what got put in it at DCSS after the diaphragm was replaced.

To pajaro: onehundertpro agree. Enjoy!
