[Reposting, as it didn’t federate properly last time]

This is a parker IM I’ve had in my collection a while. I don’t usually go for Parker branded pens. I usually find them a bit boring/vanilla. But when I saw this one come up pristine on Ebay, I thought I’d give it a go.

It looks nice, but sadly it doesn’t seal well. There’s a hole under the clip that lets air in. Why? I guess I could try to cover it.

    I’m sure I got some looks on the bus.

    I have no doubt about that.

    I just need to remember the look of people when I get out my paper agenda and a fountain pen to check availability or write some appointment and then see their face when I explain them why I so much prefer using an analog agenda to any digital one. It’s even funnier when I explain them I prefer drafting all my writings longhand, using a fountain pen or even a good old… typewriter.
