Condition and information:
The Parker 45 model is one of the greatest pens ever made by the Parker Pen Company. It was their first cartridge model, one that captured the hearts and souls of the people with a modern design. The pen was intended for the mid class, but soon its popularity caught up so much that Parker started to produce high-end luxurious variations of it. The pen offered here is the second generation, where slightly new change of the form was introduced and the pens were improved. The pen is entirely made out of stainless steel, great looks and appeal, but this also makes it nearly indestructible. The pen has a very high gloss and reflection (difficult to capture in pictures), and very nice gold plated trimmings. The pen can be used with any Parker ink cartridge but also with ink bladder converter, the original one is included with the pen. The nib is superb, a F fine size, solid 14K gold, very precise and easy to write with smooth on the paper. It is also a soft nib, it does not feel stiff on the paper, rather quite pleasant.
