Hello folks, Thanks for having me here. I have been very much enjoying the podcasts and was just listening a moment ago and found out there is a forum so I had to join!

All the best.
Ian

Hi Maja, great to see you here as well! I am aiming to be at the next meeting. I have missed too many due to work! Hope all is well.

Hi again Ian! (did you like this 'audiophile' smiley ----> :music: I used in my first post above? ;))
Glad to hear that you'll be at our next pen club meeting! I see that you have a "Parker 51" Special on its way to you. Tell me a bit about it. I think you have (had) a regular Parker 51 in red with a lovely stub (or Broad??) nib.....

Yeah, I loved that smiley Maja. Yes, your right, my first 51 is with my friend in Vienna now, I gave it to her as a present. This one coming looks to be in pretty good condition, a few scratches on the section and I am sure it will need a good flush, it was sold as is and I got it for $23. Even if it needs a service by Brian I will still come out good with it. But I think looking at it it will just need a good flush! Here are some pictures, what do you think?

Oh, an one for luck, this is the Passaporto I got a few weeks ago!

The pens look great! As long as the Parker 51 Special's nib is OK, it should work well (assuming no hole in the sac) after some flushing.
The ebonite Passaporto is gorgeous!! Could you bring it (and the P51 Special) to our meeting on the 21st? Thanks, Ian!
