This Parker “51” Flighter made it’s way to my collection last week.

I'm using an Italian pen: Universal Rex made by Fratelli Cavaliere in the 30s. Waterman's Harmonious Green. I think I showed in the past but here it is again.

I just noticed the post is in the wrong forum, it should have been in 'what's in tour pocket' instead. Never mind, it is a new buy, early 2022 if I recall it correctly 
Looks sharp and ding free! How does it write?
Not as wet and smooth as my 61 Flighter, but, still well. I’m very happy with both.
I hear you. I have one 61. It writes so much better than the several 51s that i have. I haven't bought more 61s because i have no patience for the filling system. The one 61 I have held onto is made in Argentina and has a converter.
I ran my 61 through the ultrasonic and let it soak over night first then bulb syringe flush. I am still on my first fill , and, it hasn’t dried or anything yet. To be honest I find the capillary filler easier to flush than either aerometric or vacumatic. That first maintenance took time, but, it has been a well behaved pen. My 45’s with converters both dried out on me after sitting for a few weeks.
