Condition and information:
The Parker 45 model is one of the greatest pens of the Parker 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 catch so much, that Parker started to produce high-end luxurious variations of it. The pens offered here are the so called "second generation", where slightly new change of the form was introduced and pens were improved. The pens are entirely made out of steel, great looks and appeal, but this also makes them nearly indestructible. The pens have a very high gloss and reflection (difficult to capture in pictures), and very nice gold plated trimmings. The set comes in its original box, and are in absolute mint condition, minimal to no signs of use, no dings, no scratches or anything of the kind, perfect condition. The fountain pen can be used with any ink cartridge but also with ink bladder converter, the original one is included with the pen. The fountain pen's nib is superb, a large M medium size, solid but smooth on the paper. Its great pen to use for normal size writing, such as letters, diary or drawing. And also a very easy pen to clean and maintain. The entire front section, the nib and feed are simply removable by unscrewing it with a hand. Both pens have a great grip due to their weight, and great balance and feel in the hand. The Parker 45, hardly any pen had or ever will surpass the stunning looks, build quality, performance, easy of use and many more factors which make for a remarkable pen.
