I'm quite excited! time to go ink shopping!
What ink are you planning on using with it? There's a good "guide" over at FPN for P51s (
http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...howtopic=22427) I think the general idea is not to use inks that are permanent, scented, waterproof or very saturated so as to prolong the life of the life of the pen and not have to clean it out very often. This is especially true for valuable/collectable ones. I think I'm going to stick to basic ones like Visconti Royal Blue, Pelikan Brilliant Black, Waterman Florida Blue and Mont Blanc Black. I think I might get myself a bottle of Noodlers Ottoman Azure since it looks pretty nice. Might also grab one of those Aurora Blacks and experiment with some Noodlers.
