The Parker Victory Mk.V. made it's debut in 1953 as Parker introduced the 'aerometric' filling system to all the U.K. Duofolds. As the 1950s progressed the name 'Victory' lost relevance somewhat and the pen was phased out.
Finished in Blue with Gold filled trim, it is a good sized, well balanced and handsome pen with a solid and well made feel.
The pen has been fully serviced and tested, the filling system works well and the correct 14Ct. Gold number 10 nib writes with a super smooth medium line, and has a pleasing 'soft' feel. Parker would have described the nib as 'semi-flexible', a touch of line width variation is available.
The pen is in very good vintage condition, it has an excellent surface with a legible barrel imprint and the gold filling is pristine. The original 'pli-glass' ink sac has darkened slightly with age but is not ink stained and is in very good condition.
At well over six inches in length when posted for use this is a very long and elegant pen, it would make an eye-catching and reliable vintage writer, with all the Duofold prestige and pedigree.
