Yes! The Challenger is the first pen that got me hooked on vintage fountain pens. A super but underrated Parker.
The articles of surrender between the German forces in the Netherlands and the Canadians, was signed with a green Parker Challenger that was not dissimilar to this one.

Looks nice, Iˋm sure you will have a lot of fun with it
But when I first read the headline I thought you bought this kind of Challenger.....

.....of course this would have needed a lot more space....

That's a lovely celluloid. Reminds me a bit of the Sheaffer abalone with those big lozenges of 'pearl'.
A very beautiful pen.
I have not put a sac in it yet but I have dipped it and the slightly flexi nib is smooth and wonderful for a Parker . Love to find flex where it is not usually found ! Thanks for the comments .
