PA3690 Parker Victory Mk. V. (Medium-Broad).

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 135mm; posted - 153mm.

A glossy burgundy Victory Mk. V.  Condition is excellent.  Barrel and cap are both glossy with no splits, cracks or chips or even any noticeable scratches.  There doesn't appear to be any damage at all on this fine looking pen.  The cap has a burgundy 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 is complete and readable.   The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is also in very good condition with just some very minor surface discolouration.  This original pliglass ink sac is also somewhat discoloured but does have a little transparency left.  In common with all early Aerometric pens, the filler is chrome plated.  The nib is a lovely shiny Parker No. 10 nib, made from 14 carat gold, and in a medium to broad point. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth to write with and produces a wet and medium width line.  It is also a soft nib and will give you a little line width variation as you write.
