I'd been eyeing these for some time. Figured my first vintage would be either a 51 or a Schaeffer Balance. Really I've been just patiently waiting for one to pop up at a good price in great condition. The two 51 models that appeal to me most are the Dove Grey and the Burgundy with rolled gold cap and clip. A very fine example of a Dove Grey came along at what I thought was a very good price for the condition, so I pounced. Looks almost new, writes wonderfully (medium nib), feels great in the hand. Down the rabbit hole I go :bounce:
