A good buy
I was going through some parts the other day and came across this now-empty ziplock bag -- a bag with a story. Quite a few years ago, before eBay and other websites changed everything, I traded a Black Giant for 100 (or was it 150?) new old stock Parker 51 nibs. They were straight from Parker UK, and had tips no one wanted -- italics, obliques, and reverse obliques. I ended up hanging on to a few, but all the rest are now long gone. Guess I should have taken a photo of the bag when it was still full!
