Parker 45

 Parker 45

The Parker 45 was my first vintage fountain. Recently, I have acquired two gold filled one in very good condition.

The other one 


There are Parker 45 fountain pens that were fitted with steel nibs and the gold nips are the more collectible one that write smoother too.

Parker 75 & Parker 45 Fountain pens

The Parker 75

The Parker 75 is one of the most iconic and user friendly fountain pen. I first saw it when I was in primary 3, when I saw one of my classmates using it!


The Parker 45

My first fountain pen is a Parker 45. It comes with both a steel and a gold nib. Many has thought that all gold nips are in 14k, but there are some exceptions..

There is a 10k gold nib for the Parker 45 as below:


I guess for the other models, there are the 14nk nib
