Unidentified Parker Fountain Pen

I have a Parker fountain pen which has the hooded nib similar to the Parker
"21" , the "51" and the "45". The cap has the Parker name embossed and the
"made in usa" and the oval with the arrow through it, but no model number or
other indication. The pen is a cartridge fill pen so it is probably not one
of the upscale pens but I still would like to know what model it is. By the
way the pen works well.

Cartridge fill means it is newer not of lesser quaintly. Price the new
Duofold.

EC is correct about cartridge/convertor (c/c) pens not
necessarily being of lesser quality. There was a Parker 51
c/c filler made towards the end of the model line in the US,
but I don't know the years or the model names. In the UK the
Parker 51 Mark III was a c/c filler, if I recall correctly,
but I don't know if that pen was made or marketed in the US.
