Retro 51 P-51 with a fill of Parker Quink Blue Black for the Saturday EDC. It’s nice to have a metal pen I don’t worry about getting a little knocked around.
What's in your pocket today?

I have been carrying a Jinhao 51A for a couple of months. It is not quite a Parker but it is pretty darn good. I've tried various Heros, Noodlers, and other inexpensive pens. This thing is quite Parker like. . . pull off the cap even if you have not used it for a week and it writes.

Nice! Those Chinese 51 knockoffs do have actual Parker heritage. The Communist government seized the Parker factory in Shanghai when it came to power in 1949 and has been cranking out 51s ever since. I don’t know if the Hero/Jinhao pens are using the old Parker machining, but apparently the Chinese pens are close enough that the parts will fit in vintage Parker 51s.
Pilot Metal Falcon with Noodler’s Heart of Darkness. Does that make it The Maltese Falcon? LOL
A Waterloo Blue Parker Jotter ballpoint pen:
I wasn't actually looking for another pen but it was priced at only $13.98 or so at my local Staples store and I couldn't resist a Jotter in that colour. Proof positive that a super cool pen doesn't have to cost a gentleman an arm and a leg.

I always tell people that my Greek looks like a first-grader learning to write. This should prove it! LOL!
