PA3561 Parker Victory Mk. V, boxed. (Soft Generous Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 136mm; posted - 159mm.

A glossy jet black 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 a tiny bit of edge wear to the high points on the pocket clip.  The cap and barrel have a glossy appearance with no scratching or scuffing evident.  The cap has a black 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 and is partially obscured in the centre.   The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is also in very good condition.  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.  The nib is a lovely shiny Parker No, 10 size nib in 14 carat gold in a medium point.  The original polka-dot box is also in very nice, clean, condition with a satin pad inside.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth to write with and produces a wet, medium width line.  It does have some good softness and will easily produce a line that varies in width from a medium-fine to a broad.
