I received one of these as a gift in 1960, when I was 12 years old. I still have it and it still writes.

The best fountain pen ever made, in my opinion: Reasonably priced, perfectly balanced, easy to maintain and with a gold, easily replaceable, nib that's nicer to look at and write with than the one in the 51. Great review. Cheers! 👍

I am a collector. the best of Parker in its entire history were the 51 and 45 models, in my opinion. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

Back in 1964 my mother informed me that in September I would no longer be attending Public School. I would be attending Catholic School. My cousin Raul who was already in Catholic School told me it would be great if we were in the same class. During the summer prior to my moving over to his school, he asked me to show him a sample of my writing. I then quickly printed out a couple of sentences. When he saw my writing he told me if that is the way you write you will get low grades in school and you will be expelled!!! He told me you will need to learn how to write in "handwriting" (Script) and turn in all your assignment neatly written. You will need a special pen to achieve this. He then proudly showed me his Parker 45. He told me ... now this is the pen that if used properly will earn you good grades. Then he showed the pen's ability to be either fountain pen or a cartridge pen!!!! I have always collected pens even before my cousin introduced to the Parker 45. Till this day the Parker 45 is my favorite pen. And yes it is a great tool to write neatly in script (handwriting).

This was my first fountain pen. Given as a gift from my grandfather (a Parker 51 user) to me back in 1965. Still have it, still works>

It’s got an E95s vibe plus the interchangeable nib unit is a sweet feature. I like it.

I like the 45. Its a cheap pen but good quality and great school or work pen. It looks good too. It was designed off an eversharp when parker bought the brand.

I have an orange 45 that was my mother's pen growing up. It's a little dinged up but it still writes just fine. Sturdy little guy.

Fun fact: every President from Lyndon Johnson to George HW Bush used this type of pen for signing bills. I personally have two(Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford), they are felt tip pens but sadly they don’t really work.

The grip section is made of a cheaper plastic than the 51 and could be prone to heat and pressure sensitivity especially in the metal capped models otherwise the 10k and 14 k nibs are superb writers and punch way above their weight.

Where can I get a nib replacement? I'm unable to use it ever since it broke in 2022. Can anyone recommend an online store? It was handed down to me by my parents who used it in their school days.

I just bought a Parker 45, my first vintage pen. Do I need to be careful with the kind of ink I use?
@labibsaud8064

yeah, don't use archival,noodlers , sheening or glittery inks. Archival inks are hard to clean and vintage parts are hard to come by so don't risk it. Noodlers inks are generally thick and hard to clean (as far as I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong). Sheening and glitter inks leave gunk in the feed and nib so they require more through care.

I actually own a Parker 45! It was my mom's first present to my dad when they were dating. A little damaged, and very scratchy, but that's what it is. I might get it adjusted (don't know how) but it's going to be something I hold onto for a lifetime.

so did you adjust it and if so how does it write ?
