Chris,
I can recommend Peter Twydle at Hornsea to your colleague as he did a superb
overhaul on one of my Parker 51's

Ah, another fetish!
I don't have a Parker 51; my flying instructor colleague has 2, though, each
of which has a broken clip after having been kept in his flying suit. They
tend to leak when he is airborne, of course, but he really loves them.
I have a Parker 75 in Sterling Silver which I inherited, with a matching
ballpoint pen, from my late father. It's a beautiful set but there is
something special and subtle about the 51 and the way it writes.
I also have a Mont Blanc in burgundy, a Cross, stainless steel and blue, a
Rotring Newton set in black and 2 Pilot Capless pens. But I'm not obsessed
with pens or anything ...
