This pen is now reserved
The Parker Victory Mk. IV was made from 1948 to 1952. It is an 'A.F' button filler type, the letters denoting an Aluminium Filler. This example has flush cap rings, they were raised slightly around 1950 so this is an early pen.
This example, finished in the uncommon dark green colour, is in exceptional condition throughout. The colour doesn't show well in the photographs, it is more obviously green 'in the flesh' It has a first class surface and Gold filling to the clip and cap rings.
The pen has been fully restored to full working order. This involved full disassembly, a thorough cleaning and checking of all components and replacing the ink sac and pressure bar. After reassembly the pen was given a light polish and fully tested.
The box, probably original, is in pristine condition.
The filling system works well and takes up a good volume of ink. The 14 Ct. Gold nib is stamped with an 'N', it was made in Parker's Newhaven works. It writes extremely well, laying down a smooth, consistent, fine to medium line. The nib is semi flexible, it has the pleasing 'soft' feel that Parker managed to achieve with many of its 14Ct. Gold nibs and offers line variation. It is an extremely pleasant and comfortable writer.
