Re: Which 51?
A first quarter first year Cordovan with the Sterling cap that was a wedding present from an officer to his new bride before he left on a four year all expenses paid North African, Italian and Persian Gulf vacation and that has tooth marks from when the cap was used as a pacifier for at least one young son who was teething.

Re: Which 51?
If I could have any 51 I do believe it would be a 61. I need the arrow on top. those rainbow caps are awesome, I had one briefly.
Re: Which 51?
Midnight Blue aerometric, US medium nib, simple brushed steel cap. I have it. It will be in my pocket tomorrow morning.

Re: Which 51?
Just to celebrate this thread, (sort of as a counterpart to the "anti-51" thread) I took a few more photos of my favourite:

The same pen?Originally Posted by christof
Re: Which 51?
Yes.The same pen?
…I know, it‘s boring.
Re: Which 51?
I thought the second pen might have been black. I agree, the sterling caps are my favorite, and I like the double jewel pens.
Re: Which 51?
Note it is a first year pen.
51s seem timeless for me.
Re: Which 51?
Maybe I should get another.
Re: Which 51?
absolutely!
Re: Which 51?
They are...
..and one of the best fountain pens ever.

Re: Which 51?
I grabbed a Navy Grey Vac with a beat up gold filled cap today.
In my pocket untouched all day. Left it on my desk as I walked out.
Tomorrow is another day.
Re: Which 51?
I filled my only 51 today with R&K Verdigris. The wide nib empties the 51 a bit too fast.

Re: Which 51?
Here’s a question: did every single 51 made feature an arrow clip?
"When Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick;
and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."
~ Benjamin Franklin
Re: Which 51?
As far as I know.

Re: Which 51?
There are the clip-less Demi "Princess" pen models.... Bedazzled with "jewels". Don't see them very often.
