Discontinued Item The Parker 45 is positioned as an entry-level model for students. Production ran from 1960 to the present. As an entry-level model, the nibs were made of stainless steel or gold-plated, but 14-karat gold nibs were also available as a high-end option. This item has a 14-karat gold nib with an "X" marking, indicating an extra-fine nib width. It uses an Aerometric filler, which draws ink using the negative pressure of a rubber sac. Disassembly and cleaning of the nib is very easy; simply pinch the resin part of the nib and turn it counterclockwise to disassemble and clean. Size: Length: Approximately 139mm Shaft Diameter: Approximately 9mm Accessories: None Condition: Used condition. The ring has some plating deterioration. There is a small horizontal scratch, common in used items, on the cap where it contacts the clip. Therefore, we are offering it at a price that reflects the gold price plus a premium. ※This item is a one-of-a-kind item. Due to sales in our physical store, in-store sales take priority, and we will remove the listing during purchase negotiations. Please understand this.
