Has anyone ever seen a Parker 45 nib like this before?
Currently selling on UK ebay for £15.99 by one of the largest UK pen sellers.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

This nib is most likely from a Chinese clone of the Parker 45. The best known Parker 45 clone is the Hero 800.

Many thanks jos,
Read your thread with great interest.
I just get the feeling this nib is from another earlier ( late 1970's ) source.
Clones of a Parker 45. Probably than cloning a Wearever.
They will clone anything if the clone will sell. Looks like the Chinese did a better job.

The nib clearly says "China", thus coming from a clone
It if works....

I wonder if it is a Hero.

What an amazing read you posted. THANK YOU.
' Remaking the 45: A Cooperation between HERO & Parker '
It is very clear there is a vast amount of information here on this forum.

I still think it is strange that a ' respected ' UK eBay seller ( not by me, I think he is a total idiot ) would offer something that is a reproduction of a cheap nib.
You can buy genuine ones for about £ 7 - half of the price asked.
