In this paper, we investigated the existence of parallel 1-forms on specific Finsler manifolds. We demonstrated that Landsberg manifolds admitting a parallel 1-form had a mean Berwald curvature of rank of at most n2. As a result, Landsberg surfaces with parallel 1-forms were necessarily Berwaldian. We further established that the metrizability freedom of the geodesic spray for Landsberg metrics with parallel 1-forms was at least 2. We figured out that some special Finsler metrics did not admit a parallel 1-form. Specifically, no parallel 1-form was admitted for any Finsler metrics of nonvanishing scalar curvature, among them the projectively flat metrics with nonvanishing scalar curvature. Furthermore, neither the general Berwald's metric nor the non-Riemannian spherically symmetric metrics admited a parallel 1-form. Consequently, we observed that certain (α,β)-metrics and generalized (α,β)-metrics did not admit parallel 1-forms.
