Review: Stylish and Smooth! - This is my first Parker pen and it is truly impressive. It looks fantastic, the color is rich and elegant, and it writes incredibly well. Definitely value for the money. I absolutely loved it!
Review: Quality in looks, ease and feel in writing and being part of history in this writing instrument. - This is a pen that encompasses all the qualities that people who appreciate the finer things in life must own. It is a delight to use but not to share-the sure way to let it walk off, The color as some have said it looks more black than plum. Not so, I see this as a real plum of a writing instrument. I call it my plum of a pen. Oh well its about attitude. In fact, I have picked up three vintage pens. I'm collector of many things and I'm proud to show off the pens as the collection grows including the plum.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality in looks, ease and feel in writing and being part of history in this writing instrument.
*by J***T on August 8, 2023*

This is a pen that encompasses all the qualities that people who appreciate the finer things in life must own. It is a delight to use but not to share-the sure way to let it walk off, The color as some have said it looks more black than plum. Not so, I see this as a real plum of a writing instrument. I call it my plum of a pen. Oh well its about attitude. In fact, I have picked up three vintage pens. I'm collector of many things and I'm proud to show off the pens as the collection grows including the plum.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well Made, Best Grip of Parker Ballpoint Pens
*by J***E on January 3, 2026*

I own 2 of the Parker 51 series and they are both great - the gold cap and the gold accented silver cap, both with black barrels. They have the largest / thickest barrels of any of the various Parker pens (Jotters, etc..), which is exactly what I want. This provides the best grip. Well made pens and worth it to "Treat yo' self!"
