Parker Sonnet in Brushed Steel, CT, steel ‘M’ nib, 2007 Q4
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Mercian’s pens
The World’s most-faked pen? This is the first Parker Sonnet that I have bought. I have tagged it as a ‘flighter’, although that term might, strictly-speaking, perhaps ought only to be applied to steel pens that have gold trim. It was made in Q4 of 2007. It has a stainless steel ‘M’ nib. It is in the ‘brushed steel’ finish, and has chromed trim. I think that this vintage of this finish has the prettiest cap band, and also one of the nicer nib-imprints. And it is a genuine Made-in-France Parker Sonnet, rather than one of the many cheap Chinese fakes with which the interwebs are sadly awash nowadays!

Help Identifying A Parker Pen, And Questions About Parker Converter
thespyingdutchman posted a topic in Parker
Hi FPN! I'm new on this forum (I usually browse reddit.com/r/fountainpens), so I'm still learning how all this works. This seems to be the right place to ask my questions. I just ordered a vintage Parker pen from a seller in my country (The Netherlands). Here are some pictures the seller provided. It looks like a Parker 45 Flighter to me, but I'm not sure and by no means an expert. I paid 20 euros for it, which is around $25. Can you help me identify the model of the pen? And is 20 euros a good deal? I think I read somewhere $20-$30 is a normal price for this pen. The seller said it does have a date engraved on the barrel, but as long as it's just a date I think it's actually pretty cool. And to anyone who owns this pen, would you recommend it as a daily carry for a college student? Thanks in advance! EDIT: I had a question about what converter this pen takes, but I've edited this out because I've found my answer.
