Hello from the Pacific NW. The folks over at Goulet suggested I join and post my inquiry for help here. My daughter, pictured here with the fountain pen in question (she does princess parties and had just gotten done with one), gave me this great desk pen for Christmas. It's a really classy looking Parker that has local history as well. I believe it is a 45, but not positive of that. My other fountain pens are Shaeffers, Montblanc, and Monteverde. So this is my first parker.

 

My question is whether I could use the Parker Twist Cartridge Converter with this pen? Would love to be able to use it...so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. It would take both the Parker squeeze as well the modern Parker piston converter.

 

And you are right the desk pen is a P45. Congrats. Enjoy the beautiful gift from your daughter.

Thanks Donor. Will order that converter and put this back into operation. Much appreciated!

And don't forget, in the meantime, you can refill the existing cartridge with a syringe. What a cool gift, lucky Dad!

Nice desk pen. The base is beautiful also. Nice and rounded edges.

You will probably be happiest with a converter, but those cartridges are still available - it takes standard Parker cartridges.

 

Cartridges really only come in useful if you refill on the move, which probably won't happen much with a desk pen :D

 

I love the pen by the way - your daughter has excellent taste.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
