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 ~~dozens~~ two of us!

OoooOOO.

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.

The new 51s do look nice. I hadn't heard of a Latitude until your comment. (Maybe everyone memoryholed it lol)
