Pen Resurrection Sunday Ep 94 1949 Parker 51 Aerometric Slender

I bought this 1949 Parker 51 Slender (Demi), not knowing it wasn't standard and the barrel was not matched to the small size of the pen. I bought a hood and barrel from a 1950 Demi P51 and did a swap. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.
