Hardly any pen had or ever will surpass the stunning looks, build quality, performance and ease of use that this remarkable pen has. The Parker 45 model is one of the best known pens worldwide and one of the most successful models of the Parker Pen company.

The pen was intended for the mid class pen market, but soon its popularity caught on so much that Parker started to produce high-end luxurious variations of it. There were dozens upon dozens variants of the Parker 45. This model was the entrance base model called the "Student 45 Pen".

The clip of the pen is shaped in the company’s recognizable trademark, the Parker arrow.
