From the album: Mercian’s pens
This photo is an attempt to show the nib grades on my three 1970s Parker 45 'Flighters'. The pen with the 14k 'M' nib was 'MADE IN ENGLAND' in the early 1970s; the pen with the steel 'X' nib was 'MADE IN FRANCE' in the early 1970s; the pen with the steel 'M' nib was 'MADE IN ENGLAND'...© Mercian

A photo to attempt to show the countries of manufacture of my three Parker 45 'Flighters'. Two were 'MADE IN ENGLAND', the other one was 'MADE IN FRANCE'. These pens were all made in the 1970s, so all have the 'wide' PARKER logo, and none of them have production dates code stamped on them.© Mercian

This photo shows my three Parker 45 'Flighter' pens. All were made in the 1970s, so all have the 'wide' 'PARKER' logo, and none of them have production date codes stamped on them. Top → bottom, they are: a 'MADE IN FRANCE' pen with a steel 'X' nib which is very rigid; a 'MADE IN EN...© Mercian

Can anyone please tell me anything about this Red Parker 45 Flighter - it's not something I have come across before with matching red section and end tip on a brushed steel Flighter body with gold trim. Pen was made in the US but I purchased it from Japan. Fine 14K Gold nib fitted when I got it....

1970s Parker 45 ‘Flighter’ compared with 1979 Parker 25 ‘Flighter’. All the converters shown will fit in to the 45. The one next to the 45 is the one that was designed for the 45. It will NOT fit in to the 25, or in to any Parker pen that was designed after 1980.

Hi All, I have a question about a 45 that I acquired a while back in used condition. It's a very nice fighter with a brushed metal and gold trim finish. I've never inked it up until today. Mind you, it looks mint, but man is it ever scratchy! I was not pleased!! I investigated t...

I found this Parker Flighter, listed as a Jotter. But there is no nock, so presumably it is a twist mechanism, and the bottom of the barrel is knurled. Can anyone provide the actual model?

I would like an opinion about the prices for a couple used Parker 45 Flighter Deluxe I found someone selling. Would you buy? The first Parker 45 Flighter Deluxe is a 1960's vintage (black endcap) it looks very good, some signs of use but no deep scratches, pictures are not clear enough to notice s...

Hello all. Having recently fell for hooded pens, I decided to make a few purchases, including the Hero 616. However, I was very reluctant in buying anything as I was very cautious of the possibility of inconsistent manufacturing and the element of luck involved in these purchases. While I was se...

Iron Gall Inks In A Parker 45 Flighter With 14K Gold Nib?
thespyingdutchman posted a topic in Parker
Hello, I recently got a Parker 45 Flighter with a 14K gold nib. I really love it, it has been a great writer so far. I'm really interested in trying some iron gall inks, because I like the permanence aspect to them, as well as the fact that they darken the longer they are on the page. I just reall... -
Greetings Fellow FPNers, Below are some of my thoughts on the Thyer edition of the Jinhao 911. This review turned out sounding a little more negative than I had intended, but don’t let it scare you away from this pen. Many of the good points about the Jinhao 911 have already been discussed in Ki...

Hello, I have an original-style flighter 45 (dated to 1962 thanks to a cap monogram) with the black plastic body that a SS sleeve slips over. Got it cheap on Ebay because there's an issue with this body; the SS sleeve rotates freely from the plastic body, which means that to tighten or unscrew the...

I just won a Pilot pen off ebay, without really knowing much about it.

Fooled Me Once... (Real Hero 616 Flighter)
rezwrrd posted a topic in China, Korea and Others (Far East, Asia)
Once I'd gotten over the original shock and disappointment of Flounder's April foolery, I started to think about how I could turn the H616 Flighter trick into a treat. I realized that if I sawed off the barrel of a 616 at about an inch, I could file it down a bit and tap a smaller (fake? or just reg... -
http://pencollect.co.uk/personal/03.jpg I bought a "New Old Stock" Parker 45 Flighter on Ebay a little while back and was amused to find that it had not been stuck together properly when it was put together so all I needed to do was unscrew the end cap and the clip screw and it fell apart into it's...
