PA3423 Parker Victory Mk. V. (Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 136mm; posted - 157mm.

A glossy deep blue Victory Mk. V.  Condition is very good.  Barrel and cap are both glossy with no splits, cracks or chips or even any noticeable scratches.  The only damage I can see on this pen is some minor plating wear to the very edges pf the pocket clip, mainly at the arrow-point shaped terminal edges.  You can see this quite clearly on the photos below, though I can't see it with the naked eye.  The cap has a blue conical top "jewel" with a rolled gold Parker arrow pocket clip  and "deco" engraved cap band.  The barrel imprint is rather shallow as many of these 50s and 60s imprints are, but it is just about all still there.   The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is also in very good condition with none of the usual discolouration to the sac guard.  In common with all early Aerometric pens, the filler is chrome plated.  The original pliglass ink sac is still present and still nice and supple.  It has the usual internal ink stains, but still retains a little of its original transparency.   The nib is a lovely shiny Parker No, 10 size nib in 14 carat gold in a medium point. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth to write with and produces a wet, medium width line.
