WOW!  That's one really awesome nib you've got there, mitto!   What is that -- an OBB?

Beautiful, Khan!  What an impressive collection. And these are only the  very very tip of your 51 iceberg!

[Barry Gabay]

Sheptonian,  What beautiful photos of such a variety of 51s. Thanks for sharing. 

 

Nice photos, Estycollector. Thanks for the 51 photos.

I REALLY want a Vista Blue MKIII!

 

I have a 61 in that color but NEED a 51 in the same……

nice! I still need to get a Navy Grey and a Midnight Blue 

 

[mitto]

Navy grey colour variations. 

 

[IThinkIHaveAProblem]

that's a lot of variation... the one on the right almost looks like it's Dove grey!

 

[mitto]

Would you call this darkest of the dark grey vac 51 set a dove grey? 

[IThinkIHaveAProblem]

Lighting being as important as it is in photography, I can't really judge.

But I do like it

(aw who am I kidding... I like just about any "51"...)

 

But there is/was a lot of variation in Dove grey pens. as evidenced by the fact that seemingly somewhere around 30-50% of them. have blind caps that don't properly match the barrel...

And, there are known navy grey vacs... although they are said to be replacement parts made later... and I don't know if they would have made a replacement pencil to go with it... hmmm...

My great grandfathers p51.

Are photos of Kullock-made Parker 51s fair game in this thread?  I’ve got plenty of the Parker-made 51s, but almost as many customized 51s.

If they are then so are Torelli, Bexley, and Prather.

For sure, anything goes, as long as it is 51-ish then it is of interest, including heavily worn pens or pens with a history, I am still searching for the location of the six very special 51 pens that were given by Eisenhower to those persons that changed the course of WW2.

 

I would like to see the 51 owned by the late Queen
