PA1506: Parker Victory Mk. IV. 

Date: c1952

Size: Capped - 5 1/4 inches; posted - 61/16 inches.

A very attractive glossy deep blue Victory in excellent condition.  It still has a little of the protective over-lacquer, now slightly discoloured, on the pocket clip, and the original clear celluloid label on the barrel.  The insides, when I came to replace the ink sac, were as clean as a whistle, so this one may even be unused old stock.  The tapered cap has a large conical-ended blue top button holding on the washer style gold filled tapered Parker pocket clip.  There are also two narrow gold filled cap bands.  The barrel blind cap unscrews easily and smoothly to reveal the aluminium filling button.  The metal is still bright and unmarked.  The barrel imprint is still excellent - sharp and clear, and bears the date code for 1952.  The nib is still shiny and is a 14 carat gold Parker Newhaven nib in a medium point.

I have fully serviced this pen.  The button filler works very nicely.  The nib is very smooth in use and writes with a lovely wet and consistent medium width line.  It is a soft nib and will provide for a tiny bit of understated line width variation as you write.
