Parker 51 Ballpoint Pen | Black Barrel with Chrome Trim | Medium Point with Black Ink Refill | Gift Box

Despite the conflicting reviews I come across, I can honestly express my admiration for the Deluxe Plume (F-nib). This is an exceptional pen in terms of craftsmanship, comparable in precision only to the Waterman Carene (because it is of a similar type). The F-nib is 14K gold and very smooth (something between F-M with Pelikan and 1:1 with Waterman Carene "F"). In some forums you may come across complaints that the so-called baby's bottom effect occurs in certain specimens. Forget it — there is no such thing with this nib, and besides, even if you don't write for many days, the ink comes right through. With more pronounced pressure, the pen becomes pleasantly juicy and leaves beautiful and contrasting shadows. Filled with Diamine "Jack Frost" ink, the effect is striking! The cap is very chic and stays well secured without wobbling and so the balance is well measured even when writing for long periods. Many argue whether the pen should have screwed on or kept the original way of closing the cap. I use the old model, too, and I can share that I'm much happier in this modern form because most of my pens work in a similar way and I'm used to the unscrewing, but that's completely subjective. The Deluxe 51 comes with a big and beautiful box (no unnecessary booklets), two ink refills - black and blue, and a converter! I've read reviews commenting that the nib is the same as the Parker Jotter. I suppose for the regular series that may be true, but in this case such a comparison may not be happening at all because I have the Jotter as well, so I'm sharing from my own experience. The Jotter is also a nice pen, please don't get me wrong I'm being condescending, but the Deluxe 51 is unique and will not disappoint. Highly recommended. _______ Just to add: There are comments on the internet that the Jinhao 85 is identical to this model and the barrel is replaceable. Not exactly. The Jinhao 85 section can be put on the Parker barrel, but not the other way around. And I don't see the point of such a Frankenstein, given that Parker's gold nib is superb. Maybe such combinations are permissible with a 51s steel nib, but with the Deluxe series it's downright sacrilege and masochism.

I bought this as a present for my nephew going to University. I have always liked Parker pens. I particularly liked the look of this pen, which is why I went for it. When I got it, I tried it out in my hand, and it has a really nice feel. I would recommend this pen.

Fabulous pens, stylish and lovely to write with. Definitely worth the money

Lovely pen, colour same as picture. Boxed. Arrived on time. Advertised with Refill but no Refill sent. Looked at other reviews and this seems to be an issue where the Refill is missing. Contacted Parker detailing the missing part but no response. Looked on line and the Refill should be there. Other than that a good buy.

I have a vintage Parker 51 and one from the 80’s. So this feels a little different - lighter in weight - but writes beautifully and easy to hold. The depth of colour in the plastic body is good and has a high gloss finish. Would buy again!

Wanted one of these all my life since my Doctor used one back in the 50s. It is now my 24/7 pen, so smooth, so good so lovely.

More than what I excepted 👌

Muy bonita pluma

Parker 51 nera con finiture e pennino in oro 18k. La scatola ė la solita di Parker, senza alcuna documentazione e questo ė l'unico punto negativo che ho riscontrato. Contrariamente a quanto descritto, arriva con due cartucce ( nera e blu) e con a bordo il converter originale Parker. La penna ė bellissima. Elegante con il gusto retrò tipico di una riedizione. Presenta delle differenze dalla versione vintage, ma a mio avviso ė una penna estremamente ben bilanciata. Il fusto ė perfetto per garantire una buona presa del pennino sulla carta. Ho letto e sentito molte rimostranze sulla chiusura a vite del cappuccio, personalmente la trovo una buona idea. Nulla da eccepire. Il pennino "incappucciato" da alla penna una qualità particolare nella scrittura. Ė una stilografica che scrive perfettamente con qualsiasi impugnatura. Non ė cosa da poco, considerato che le impugnature ergonomiche possono dare molto fastidio a chi ha una presa più "personale". Ė talmente semplice scrivere con questa penna, che a volte sembra di impugnare un ibrido tra un roller di altissima qualità ed una stilografica. Il flusso dell'inchiostro ė costante, per quanto la abbia provata solo per poche ore. Va detto che il pennino si deve adattare alla mano di chi scrive e all'inizio non ė mai performante al massimo, ma anche così scrive che ė un piacere. Il bilanciamento del fusto( io scrivo senza innestare il cappuccio perché ho la mano piccola) ė tale da permettere lunghe sessioni di scrittura senza stancare la mano. Per me vale 5 stelle. Tenendo conto che parliamo di una stilografica di alta qualità, ritengo abbia anche un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Perfetto, come sempre, il servizio di Amazon.

Nice pen! Good gift item if you like old fashioned gift ideas.
