Greetings from Dhaka, Bangladesh! This is my first post and I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Parker history. As you might know, the subcontinent was enamoured with Parker pens the last century and they can still be found in every corner. I was on the look-out for a vintage pen when I received this as a gift from a friend. Well, I'm pretty sure its a Parker 45 with a steel cap and a Burgundy barrel. It has a steel fine nib, and a squeeze converter. Unfortunately this doesn't have the date marks. The cap has PARKER below the clip and the Parker logo and MADE IN ENGLAND on the opposite side. It was uninked or so I've been told. I've looked at Richard Binder's website and and parker pens dot com. The more I look, the more I get confused as I'm not sure whether the pens were made in England at all; and the lack of the date markers. It's probably a shot in the dark but I feel like I need to know its history, whether it was from before our independence, 1971. Any help shall be greatly appreciated. Regards, Joarder
