Parker Identification

[flat_tire]

I recently received this Parker pen from an impulse ebay purchase. Now I am wondering what it is. Any information you kind folks can provide would be greatly appreciated.





The only markings on the pen (that I can find) are:
"Made in England" with the parger logo on the cap
"Parker" & "Made in Enland" on the filler
"Parker" on the other side of cap
"M" on the black part underneath the nib

The nib seems semi-flexy (not very much, but more than some other nibs I have used)



Thanks in advance!

45 "Flighter" (though the flighter name was never used for the 45, IIRC)

Thanks for the help! I was able to take it apart and found out it is a 14ct M nib and it writes superbly. Very smooth and enjoyable. This is my first gold nib and I am very happy about it.

Any other information as to when it was made? I saw some vague references to the color of the end cap (black, silver, gold, etc?) and it is made in England instead of the USA, and that the new pens have steel nibs instead of gold.

Thanks,
CZ

The new pens have steel nibs indeed. I have the same pen, also made in the UK, but with a 14ct F nib.
