The Parker 45 model is one of the best pens from the Parker Pen Company. It was their first cartridge model, one that captured the hearts and souls of the people with a modern design and versatility. The pen was intended for the mid class pen market, but soon it gained a lot of popularity and Parker started to produce high-end luxurious variations of it. This model is a more rare version, very beautiful green to teal color, with a solid steel cap brushed finished and gold plated trimmings. The fountain pen can be used with any ink cartridge but also with ink bladder converter, the original one is included with the pen.
