Parker Ballpoint Id Help

[nachodelamancha]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm a ballpoint novice, but I found two that I'd like to start using. The first is (I believe) a jotter from England, but I think it's missing a clip. The second, I don't recognize. It works by pressing down the top half of the pen, with a very satisfactory motion. Both work just great, I've got gel refills inbound as I'm a lefty. Any help in identifying them would be great, much thanks!

Hello nachodelamancha,

 

you are right, the first one is a Jotter in stainless steel. The other one a Parker 45. Both are very reliable and decent pens, IMO.

Both are what are referred to as Flighter models by Parker due to their stainless steel construction.

 

The one with the button is a Jotter, the other a 45 as previously mentioned. My 45 Flighter bp is a GT (gold trim), most of the Jotter Flighters seem to be CT (chrome trim) like yours.

I have a few of the early production 45 sets with gold trims. Obviously both FPs and BPs.

Hi, The Jotter Flighter, (minus clip, they do that, i have one the same) may have a date of manufacture code near to the Parker stamping, otherwise if you unscrew the top and look into the cap, does the threaded part appear to be brass or white or black plastic?

The brass inserts were made before about 1980, and are thought by many owners to be a stronger pen, but not any different in use.

The refills for these pens are very common, you can buy many colours or width of tip, also not just ballpoints, but gel refills as well.

Also the Fisher Space pen refill fits by using the plastic adapter that Fisher supply on the refill card.

The clipless Jotter seems to have had previously a press fit clip that has fallen away.
