It was repllaced by an aerometric version in 1953, possibly earlier.  The crisp barrel imprint carries the Olsen 'anchor' motif, this was replaced, quite early on with M.I.D. for 'made in Denmark', this is probably a 1940s pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen has been fully restored and tested.  This included a new ink sac but the nib was not disturbed although ultrasonic cleaning and pressure flushing ensured that all channels were clear.  After 70 odd years in situe it is often best not to remove the nib from the section without good reason. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen is in super condition, it shows very few signs of use, has a first class surface, a very sharp imprint, and excellent gold filling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe button filling system works well and the Parker 14 Ct. Gold nib writes with a medium line, it is unusual in that it has flex to add character to the handwriting.  The nibs on the Danish pens were made by the Olsen company and may have different characteristics to their British counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parker Victory Mk. IV is, arguably, the best of the pens bearing the Victory name.  The classic streamlined shape, tapered clip, and deep Gold filling give the pen a pleasing, uncluttered appearance.  At 15.2 cm. in length when posted, it is quite a long elegant pen with a very solid, high quality feel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectablepens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57616207315328,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/4239\/files\/P1180765.jpg?v=1773565836","url":"https:\/\/collectablepens.co.uk\/products\/danish-parker-popular-victory-mk-iv-variant","provider":"Collectablepens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
