    Default From New Orleans

    Good day y'all,

    I have been a fp user for a little over two years, with a collection now ranging around 50 or so fountain pens and around the same number of inks. I love the hobby (some call it an addiction) and above all I love the community, so glad to hook up with y'all

    It is a small world. So not ten minutes was I on the place before I bought a lot of three vintage pens. I know.

    Welcome! Great to see another Louisiana member! Don't know if you remember Father Terry Koch. If you are a PCA member there are many archived issues of the Pennant with some his articles.

    Hello to a fellow Louisianian! I think you would like a Parker 45, if you are looking to add to your collection.

    No, I'm neither a member of the PCA nor familiar with Fr. Terry Koch, but I will check both out.

    Thank you. There are few Louisianians here, but not enough!
    As to the 45, the one's similar to the 51 or the more fancy one's?
