Hi,Yesterday i mentioned having picked up a Parker 51 as part of a large collection (there have been several of late) that appears to be an uncatalogued dark gray. I have never seen another. At least, i don't recall having noticed any before.
I cobbled together a photo essay to examine this pen. Please peek. Comments invited.
