Parker Desk pen?

[Eagle]

Though I make pens I know very little about fountain pens and peruse this site to absorb by osmosis as much as I can.

At a local "Market Day" sale I picked up two "desk pens".

A Parker and a Sheaffer snorkel.

The PArker is black glass with an oval brass nameplate,

Two things are interesting about this base and pen, at least to me.

The base is clearly marked Parker both on the glass piece(marked with white and silver label) and on the funnel.

The funnel "attaches" to the base with a "magnetic ball" that is the two pieces can be separated.The magnet is in the base and the ball is plated steel I have never seen a desk set like that and thought it ingenious.

What I found odd was the the pen (Black/ with gold colored taper and trim ring) is not marked "Parker" anywherre and it appears it takes catridges only

My question,

Is it really a Parker pen?

Without a picture of the pen, it would be somewhat impossible to tell if the pen and desk base really should be together, as they could have easily been "married" together by someone who didn't know any better. How does the nib on the pen look? Is the nib completely open, like a typical fountain pen? Or does it look like the one in this link?

Looks like a Parker 45 fountain pen. Works with cartriges and with a standard parker converter.
