Even being new to pens/fountain pens I had of course heard of the almost cult-like following that had developed around the Parker 51 pens.
"Best pen ever made", "You will only ever need one pen - this one", etc.
The one I got is a 1948 full-size aerometric burgundy pen w/ 1/10 gold filled cap - and let me tell you...it is in gorgeous condition and has been taken apart, cleaned, etc.
Won't try it out with ink until tomorrow/Monday but I am very, very excited to do so.

And, some photos of mine of the pen today - not too bad for a near 70 year old pen?
So, show what pens/pencils you're rockin'
