neocaligatio said:After a quick tour of kempton this morning (no razors, sunburyboy must have got there first!) I picked up a vintage Parker - not sure which one it is, but it has a semi hooded gold nib and a pump type filler. Will post some pics later, just need to pick up some ink!
Is there anything I should do/know before i try filling for the first time? The pump is a metal tube with a section that presses in, marked 'made in usa'.
If its got a rubber sac/bulb, just make sure that it hasn't perished. I always run some slightly warm water through them to check and to clean the nib out.
