## Description

From the manufacturer Aviation Inspired With a shape resembling an aircraft fuselage, aviation comparisons were ever-present in the original marketing of Parker 51. Most Wanted Thanks to its distinctive hooded nib and streamlined silhouette, the Parker 51 was like no pen ever seen before. Extraordinary Design Due to its popularity in the 1940s among retailers, Parker 51 was marketed as the 'world's most wanted pen'.

Review: Unimpeachable standards down the decades. Trust in the arrow-clip! - I've never had any problems with either the Parker 51 or 61 over the decades. The new 51 comes with a hooded steel nib (not gold, as before.) Nevertheless, it writes in a silky manner with a lovely ink-flow. The cap is a screw-on, which surprised me. I was expecting a click-on-and fit attachment. Can't see that that'll present any problems. An ink-converter filling device is not included. Praise Be! They are generally of poor quality, leak prodigiously and rattle around inside the handsome barrel. This is not the pen that it would have been, sixty years ago, but how could it be? It still reeks of class, understatement and pleasure in the quality of your favourite, personal effects. Worth every penny.
Review: An excellent modern fountain pen - This is a revised and updated version of a review I first posted several months ago. Although I had mixed feelings about the new Parker 51 when I first used it, the pen has steadily grown on me. At the time of purchase, my expectations were quite modest (mainly on account of the negative reception it received from certain vintage pen poseurs, some of whose condemnations were absurdly 'over the top'). First, my credentials to judge this pen: I have used fountain pens almost exclusively for a good sixty years. Back in the 1960s, I owned a Parker 51 until an unknown schoolmate stole it from me. I am not, however, going to judge this new, 're-imagined' version against its illustrious predecessor. To attempt such a comparison merely because Parker, for understandable advertising reasons, has elected to revive a celebrated but long defunct model number, would be futile, not least because changes in materials and ink technology since the original version went out of production make a fair comparison practically impossible. The version I bought has a steel nib. This writes as smoothly as the gold nib on my 1960s-era Parker 45 and is a delight to write with, gliding effortlessly across the page. I have not experienced any of the drying problems that some users have alleged. The pen lays down ink without the slightest hesitation even after several days without use. It works well with my favourite ink, Pilot's Iroshizuku Take-Sumi, and also with Parker's own Quink. The pen is stunning to look at and a pleasure to use. Personally, I greatly prefer a screw cap to a friction-fit one, but I recognise that others may not share my preference. Having experienced Parker's customer service, I cannot praise it highly enough. Although I had to return my pen for attention, the company resolved the issue quickly and efficiently and, of course, at no cost to myself. The new Parker 51 is an excellent modern pen and upholds the company's traditional high standards of design and construction. Ignore the preposterously exaggerated criticism that some have levelled against it in some corners of the internet. I am delighted with my purchase, which has now become my favourite fountain pen.

### ⭐ Avoid this pen if you're new to fountain pens or wanting an authentic writing experience
*by A***H on 16 March 2026*

Just bought this Parker 51 and have to say what a rubbish pen this is. It makes a mockery out of the contemporary pen its designed around which I have to say is a fantastic pen, that matches its legacy. Not this reproduction though, its rubbish. Good luck getting this pen to initially feed once you take the cap off, given the air vents in the cap that dry the nib out. I have modified my pen to seal this vent up. Prior to sealing it, after 3 days with the cap on, the pen stored inside its presentation box and being stored at room temperature alongside my other fountain pens, this Parker 51 was dried out and totally inoperative. On stripping the pen, the cartridge supply end to the nib had dried over. Had to flush the nib with lukewarm water and after drying, convertor fitted the pen with Parker bottled ink to get it working again. Honestly if you want a £69 fountain pen go buy a Pilot they’re cheaper and better quality. They always say, always, buy an original not a reproduction of anything if you can, because the modern version is often less than the original. That statement is true here, but not in every case though. This pen showcases Parker on a poor day. They generally make great pens, this was not the pen to get wrong though. This new Parker 51 is not the writing experience that you get from the original, that’s a far better experience. This Parker iteration would struggle against a £15 to £30 Pilot which are vastly superior writing experiences than this pen. It’s not even worth being given out as a free gift at a trade fair. I thought I had bought a faulty unit, but researching this reproduction pen, prior to writing this review, those more informed than me have equally slammed it as poor both in terms of cost and writing experience, along with, the lack of authenticity to the original, given the reproductions filling mechanism and nib. If you’re new to fountain pens and / or looking for a retro writing experience don’t buy this pen you’ll be disappointed.
