Great tips. Another good one is the Jinhao 51A which has some similarities in appearance with the Parker 51 including hooded nib. But they’re super cheap, cartridge-converter pens and the nibs are quite nice. Yes there’s the gamble on quality but I have had good luck with several. The cap slips on and off but not as smoothly as the real deal but for a sub $10 pen who cares.
