I don’t have any vintage Parker fountain pens. I do have one of the re-release 51’s which is a fine enough pen, and I have a Parker Latitude from 2007 that is so terrible the thing seems to have been memory holed entirely and has negative collector’s value.
Oh, and I have about 67 zillion Jotters, both vintage and modern.
Ooh, nice pen! I love the inlaid nib on this model. I also am a fan of the Triumph type nib (I have a Sheaffer Signature with one).
Here in the US we didn’t use fountain pens in school. But there’s a cult following.
My current daily driver is a Parker 45 Flighter with an Octanium nib (stainless steel with fancy marketing me lol).
I don’t bother with cartridges; I use converters instead. Quink Black works pretty well in this one although I have too many other inks.
Fountain pen lovers – there are
dozenstwo of us!OoooOOO.

The new 51s do look nice. I hadn’t heard of a Latitude until your comment. (Maybe everyone memoryholed it lol)
Here’s my $40 pen and 50¢ handwriting!
Nice!
