UK Parker 61 c/c fillers

[Barry B. Gabay]

Promised to show these a few months ago. Finally got around to photographing them.

I have always enjoyed the Parker 61's design, but the capillary-fill models have never worked well for me. Several years ago, I came across a cartridge-converter version. It was love at first sight. I have acquired several others in the ensuing time. Like UK 51s, these have extremely smooth and occasionally wide nibs. Note the second blue one. It seems a BB to me. The gray with rainbow cap is a 15 degree oblique. The others are M and B nibs. Though I use these with cartridges, they can be fitted with a variety of Parker converters. Enjoy.
