Hi Geeks,
Just wanna share my latest find, an early 45 Flighter GT, circa late 1960s. The nib is fine 14C gold. This particular model is noted for the plastic end on a stainless steel barrel. Which described by Pen Collect (http://pencollect.co.uk/parker45.htm) site as:
Early models had a silver arrow clip and a black plastic end cap although at some point in the early 1970s the black tip was changed to a silver metal tip. Rarer versions exist with coloured end caps and shell section to match, for example red.
Such as this one:

I cannot really complaint aside from the dried permanent black QUINK that was a pain in the backside to clean 100% from the slightly shrunk section. And I certainly can't complaint, considering I got this pen for about $5!
