Both pens arrived today from different eBay auctions. The 51 took a bit of soaking in the ultrasonic cleaner to get going but now seems good. The 45 started right up. The 51 has a black sac; I think original ones all had pliglass so this must have been serviced at least once. The sac seems pretty good, but I bought some pliglass ones for when I am ready to really take the pen apart.

The 45 writes a fine line and the 51 a medium. I know very little about these pens but we have time to become acquainted.

I had trouble capturing the color because it's so dark. Both pens are blue. The 51 is darker.
