    Australian Parker 180 flighter and French black Parker Jotter/15. Both are new to me, and a joy to use. Just bought some Permanent Royal Blue with Solv-x too.

    Parker 51 Vacumatic, haven't used one for over a year, such a nice simple pen that writes perfectly.

    Parker 51 Midnight Blue with US medium nib. A "flat" nib, meaning no downward hook. I've noticed that some nib craftsmen tuned a nib into a hook, but I'm not sure why. Those pens try to flop left or right when I write with them, so I avoid them.

    That is nice ink. I mistakenly put that in a fine. The purple-black definitely belongs in a stub. It is not like blue-black that goes in anything. I have it right now in a fine nib and it just looks black.

    And another 51 Vac today. A cedar blue 51. Fault is too strong a word but it has a ring of ink stain about 1cm down the barrel, after trying in vain to polish it away and failed I decided that I wanted to keep it as it was.

    I do not normally buy or choose to write with an extra fine nibbed pen but this was a honey, so smooth with such a crisp line.

    The cap has been polished like the finest silver but again that is all part of the charm.

    A Parker Lattitude, an easy to use pen but a very broad nib, over 1mm line width which is a little much for every day notes. In the end I gave up and used a 45, marked as a Medium but the finer side of Medium.

    A brown 50 "Falcon". Side effect of my obsession for integrated nibs.

    A Parker Duofold Sr. "Big Bro" pencil. It's the only mech pencil I like, and I actually love it.
