Hi...interesting forum....here.

I like Parker fountain pen. I also collect Parker 61 and 51s. Any fans here? Lets share the joy....i will post some pics when i find time to shoot some 61s heirloom rainbow........It looks like the Rolex Tridor....sounds familiar?

I have many Parkers, the Duofold line being my favorite.

I do own a very nice 51 with the Forest Green barrel. What a writer that pen is! No wonder it was so popular!

I do have a soft spot for these and would love to get my hands on the Buckskin / Gold!

Superb set of Parker 51...IS this the first year man with double jewel? Rolex + Parker will be superb....

Oh yes, a Parker fan here, all vintage. The youngest is 60 years old, the Vacumatic. then there is my Duofold Jr, 1928 and last but not least my Duofold senior special, 1926.

I'll have to send some pictures as soon as possible.

MB rollerball, ballpoint, and fountain pen.
Favorites are Parker 75s Sterling Silver..again, FPs, Rollerball, Ballpoint, and a matched BP and Pencil set...
These were more affordable at the time than a ROLEX..!

Hi Shandy, what ink did you use for this sample? The shading looks very nice, what colour is it? Also, is that a Moleskine ruled notebook?

Thanks Kai

Hi Kai. it is Noodlers standard brown and your right it has wonderful shading with the right nib.
It is also dark enough with a normal nib to be able to be used in more formal writing I think!
And yes it is a moleskine though I am now using clairefontain as I find with Molskine the ink from broader nibs bleeds through a bit. My dream is that clairfontaine make a journal with the same lovely cream shaded paper that is in Molskin, that would be perfection!
