We have extolled the virtues of the Parker 51 elsewhere on this site, in the Masterclass section, and so I have decided to give it its own page and incorporate a rather unique idea. The idea is this: given the basic structures of the pens below, I will build the rest of the pen to your own specifications. I can build it as a conventional aerometric filler or as a cartridge pen. Furthermore, you can have whatever nib you prefer as I have almost a full range of nibs in the workshop. I can also adjust the nib to write ‘wet’ or ‘dry’.
These pens will probably be of no interest to the ‘purist’ as they were never issued by Parker in this form. The idea is to provide you with a Parker 51 that is guaranteed to work and write as you would like it.
The coloured pens below all have mint, new-old-stock barrels and shells. The unusual colours are probably of Argentinian origin. The nib will be new, unworn. The filling mechanisms may have been used before but the caps are definitely NOT new and may have scratches or dings.
All these Parker 51’s are £100 each. To save on postage, they will not have gift boxes, but if you are buying it as gift, I can supply a presentation box for an extra £5.

The pens below are the later Mk III version of the Parker 51, which are slightly smaller than the old-type 51 but take the same nib. The caps on these pens are new-old-stock. These pens are aerometric only.
