Parker Flighters

Here are some of my Flighters. Please share yours.

 

Thank you

Very nice. I've never thought to put all my flighters side by side.

Might be a project for a hot day.

Great collection, thanks for sharing. Strictly speaking the 75 Ciselé wouldn't be a flighter (silver coloured body, gold accents if I understand correctly)? Still the most beautiful to my eyes. Really required all my will not to pull the trigger on one a coupe of days ago.

 

Is the last one on the right at the bottom a 45?

Good collection. But there a few non flighters in the group. Enjoy your pens.

Correct Gentlemen...few non flighters in the picture. I wish I had two dozen flighters.....still missing 105 and couple of others ? Can somebody confirm ?

 

Last one on the bottom right is a Harlequin pattern 45.

Add a P51 and a P21 flighters.

Christoph! Your photography is, as always, beautiful! Never knew that the 45 flighters have a black barrel end. Seems Parker meant them to be used unposted, for a more symmetric look that way? 🤔 as a non-poster I approve.

[mitto]

The black barrel end piece does not prevent the pen from posting.

My NOS Deluxe GT from the 70's (literally unused - every part is pristine, even inner cap flat springs have no friction marks)

 

 

 

with interesting cap end, if anybody knows what that's about, please tell

Ok. Sorry. I now see the P51 and P21 flighters are there in your picture.

For sure 😄 I was just talking about the aesthetics of the pen unposted, since that is how I use them.

For aesthetics, there are the chrome and gold barrel end pieces that came with the flighter version of the P45. And, ofcourse, there are the ones (later production) that do not have the end piece altogether and have one piece longer barrel. On other high end metal body 45s there came the end pieces in various other colors.

Flighters are hard to photograph!
