Looks real. The fingers in the cap clutch deformed the hood.

This happens to most 45s, doesn't it?

Seems to happen a lot but then you find a lot with no evidence of it. Fortunately there are a lot of donor 45 s out there for parts.
Re: Parker 45 Demonstrator
Because of this problem I always store my Parker 45 pens with metal caps very loosely in position just over the nib in my pen case when they aren't inked and being used. Plastic caps don't have the same cap clutch so they are OK.

Yes. That is why I prefer the Parker 45 Arrow to the 45 with metal caps. The clutch works different and doesn't harm the section:

PS: some Parker 61 and U.S. made Parker "51" Mk III have the same problem... The choosen plastic is just too soft.
