The Parker Victory mk.V. was made it's debut in 1953 as Parker introduced the 'aerometric' filling system to all the U.K. Duofolds. This pen was produced in 1954.
Finished in Black with Gold filled trim, it is a good sized, well balanced and hansdsome 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 small, but very pleasing, amount of flex giving line variation and adding character. The nib carries a clear date stamp for 1954.
The surface is excellent, it has a deep shine and a clear barrel imprint. The cap, which has a red end stud, is a smooth screw fit, tightening with one and a half turns. The original pli glass ink sac has darkened slighltly but is unstained, the filling system works well.
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 vintage writer, the flex nib adding some individuality.
