The Parker Victory Mk.V. made it's debut in 1953 as Parker introduced the 'aerometric' filling system to all the U.K. Duofolds. Made in the Parker Newhaven factory, this pen crries a date code for 1954, it is an early Mk.V Victory. The pen was available in four solid colours: Black, Blue, Green, and Red, with rolled Gold trim and a 14Ct. Gold nib.
Finished in Black, this pen is an outstanding example, it is a good sized, well balanced and hansdsome pen with a solid and well made feel. The surface is excellent, it has a deep shine and a legible barrel imprint. The cap, which has a black end stud, is a smooth screw fit, tightening with one and a half turns.
The pen has been fully serviced and tested, the filling system works well and the correct 14Ct. Gold number 10 nib writes with a medium line and has a small bur effective flex, Parker would have rated it as semi flexible.
At well over six inches in length when posted for use this is a very long and elegant pen, it would make an eyecatching and reliable every day vintage writer.
