Do the later CC versions of the Parker 61 use more durable plastic?

Capillary Flighters aren't that common on this side of the Pond, are they? It's simply a case of keeping looking - I found mine by accident when browsing eBay a few years back looking for something else. Mint, and under £50. I think the vendor was just selling off a load of assorted stuff that the pen happened to be amongst.

I don't believe Newhaven ever made a C/C Flighter with chrome trim. Of the English GTs I prefer the earlier version with the plastic jewel.

Your are right, and right now the US never inked capillary 61 Fligher CT is listed for US$282 by the US seller on eBay.
