Parker 45

Recommended Posts

few days ago i got 3 nice pens a Sheaffer Imperial and 2 beautifully colored Parker 45 pens, both of them came with a Fine Nib one of them -the gold plated one- was very clean so i didnt do anything to it and the other one needed some service so i did it and im currently using it, such a nice pen very smooth, fantastic grip and decent ink flow even when im using cheap paper it writes perfectly without any problems.
here is some pictures for both of them :http://imageshack.com/a/img534/3292/qyd7.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img822/6840/dsi0.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img850/2144/5qol.jpg

If the nibs in the pens Came with those pens then your gold colored nib Isn't likely plated, More Likely 14k gold.

 

The didn't put the plated nibs in until much later. The nib will be stamped if Gold but you'll need to remove it from the collar to see it.

 

Nice looking 45's.

I just got 2 Parker 45s because everyone said they were wonderful writers, and they are! :) You have some very good specimens there.

I was going to say the same thing. I have several pens of other brands with gold plated nibs, and the color of the gold in the 14k in my P45 Flighter is "different" than those. I suspected as much when I got it, and confirmed when I took it apart. Enjoy!!

cant wait to empty the first 45 so i can use the gold nibed 45, do you think it will write even better that the Steel nibed 45 ?

The Parker 45 is designed for reliability and easy maintenance by the user. Whatever else I am using, a Parker 45 travels

in my pocket. So it has been for forty years.

 

Store with the cap removed.

I think Sasha means mainly for uninked long term storage not when inked for daily use. Storing it uncapped stops the hood dimples from getting worse.

Probably not much difference if any in smoothness, the gold nib may be a bit springier though.

Never used a steel nibbed 45, but 45's are wonderful writers. I would have been happy had it been steel, but as a 14k? I was ecstatic.

i agree they are really great writers, i think both steel and 14k nibs are great didnt try the 14k yet but surely it would be great.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
