Product Description
Type Cartridge/converter filling fountain pen, working well.
Product Name Parker 45 Harlequin, it seems "harlequin" meant repeating diamond pattern but Parker incorrectly took it to mean any repeating pattern. This was also called the Parker 80.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in England -- 1980 (The date code is a clear QI which indicates 1980. This matches the model's production period of 1979-84.)
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Fountain pen takes Parker cartridges, or you can fill it with bottled ink via the included squeeze converter.
Color Brushed stainless steel with cut out and outlined circles. It is called "Grey Circlet" because the non-steel part is a filed in gray. It has a conical tassie which was used in the 1960s.
Nib MEDIUM 14k nib is smooth with large tipping material. The collar is labeled, "M," which matches. All Harlequin nibs came with steel nibs, but this nib has been upgraded with a 14k nib that was made in England.
Condition Near Mint condition. There's a smidge of wear on the tassie near the clip but otherwise there are no scratches, chips, dents, or cracks. It's working very well. (In the photographs it looks like there's some wear on the clip, but it was sticker residue that came off.)
