Trouble identifying Parker pen


MartinTenbones

Recommended Posts

I'm cleaning up this pen I received in a lot from eBay but I cannot figure out what pen it is.

 

The lot said it was three Parker 45's but I could tell from the pictures one was different.

 

I have attached some pictures. Does anyone recognize this one?

 

I've looked through the magnifying glass but there's nothing identifying it other than the name Parker on the nib and on the cap and it's made in England.

I've looked at a bunch of Google images and I think you are right it's a Parker Arrow. 

 

In most of the pictures I see it came with an aerometric cartridge converter as well which this one didn't unfortunately.  Would anyone suggest a replacement?  

 

I'll look up more info on it.

 

One thing I do know is the nib section holds a whole lot of ink in it lol.  Been soaking and flushing for hours and there is still ink dripping out!

 

Thanks for the help.

Desta página " No Reino Unido, em  1990,  foi introduzido um Flighter com acabamento cromado (CT)."

 

acho que é esse que eu tenho

Martin, I agree with you on the identification with 95.
The stylized toothless arrow clip and screw that holds the arrow in the shape of "2 coins stacked" are what sets the Arrow apart.
As per jchch1950's answer, Parker cartridges and converters and a multitude of brands can be installed in this pen without a problem.
Enjoy this beautiful piece, good writings!

It is a nice pen.   I refilled a disposable cartridge that had come with it using Parker Quink blue/black for now and it writes great.  Would a standard international fit it then?

 

I don't mind syringe filling the disposable ones as I find it's cleaner to do it that way anyhow

As Switala has said, you certainly have a Parker 95 there. 

 

Here are a couple of photos showing the different tops of the cap between the Parker Arrow (left) and the 95 , and the respective clips which are quite different when you see them side by side.

I really enjoy this pen.   Slightly slimmer then I'm used to but the weight and feel makes this an enjoyable pen use

      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
