This is a Parker 50 Falcon “Flighter” fountain pen c. 1979. This 5 1/8 inch long cartridge / converter fountain pen is noted for its integrated stainless steel nib. The nib is essentially an extension of the section all the way to the slit for the tines and the tipping material. The gripping part of the section has a matte finish.  The brushed stainless steel finish was complemented with gold plated trim. PARKER over MADE IN U.S.A. is stamped on the back cap lip.  This example has a feathered clip like the Parker Systemark rather than the plainer clip usually seen on the Falcon.  Available nib grades were extra fine, fine, medium and broad.
