i have a parker 45 that my grandmother gave me, with the "bare"
sac that you mentioned. it is still surrounded by a metal 'cage'
of sorts, just one bit of the metal depresses into the sac and
sucks up the ink. I think that the sac used to be transparent,
but it definitely isnt now. looks pure black. but it doesnt to
hold much ink, so i am looking for something with a higher
capacity. do you know of any cheap piston fillers?

"Cheap" is not the right word, but a pen from the Pelikan 200
series won't cost you an arm and a leg: about $64 from Swisher
Pens, for example.

Greater ink capacity doesn't necessarily mean more written words
per filling. Your Parker 45 might out-write some pens that hold
more ink.

Here's a list of some pens and their ink capacity:

I have my own twist(piston)-filler in a 45, so at least I can verify that it
fits that pen. I got it from either Pendemonium or Swisher, for around
$4-$5. Are you in the UK? If so, The Writing Desk sells it for £3.50.

The one on the left is the pull up. The one on the right is the screw -
much better.

Hey, you're right. I interpreted "pump" converter as an aerometric one, but
the one pictured on the website is a pull-piston.

I don't know if you can get the spring-bar aerometric type
converters any more.

I was pulling them up with Google Images earlier, so I guess they're still
around.

sorry bout the whole pump/aerometric thing. if you are planning on
buying one of those aero ones DONT they dont hold much (but theyre
kinda easy to fill, so if you dont use your pen much... i guess its
alright, but for the money youd may as well get the other one)

"The de-luxe piston converter (right) fits most Parker pens that take
cartridges (for example: Parker 45, 61 c/c, 65, 75, Sonnett, modern
Duofold). Please note that it does not fit the Vector, Reflex or
Jotter due to barrel width restrictions - for these pens use the
Parker pump converter (left)."

I have installed de-luxe converter to Parker Reflex and there is no
problem. IIRC I tested it also with Vector and Jotter and there was no
problem.
