The Parker Victory Mk. IV was made from 1948 to 1952.  It is an 'A.F' button filler type, the letters denoting an aluminium button.

The pen has been fully and conservatively restored to full working order.  This involved full disassembly, a thorough cleaning and checking of all components and replacing the ink sac.  After eassembly the pen was given a light polish and fully tested.

The filling system works perfectly and takes up a good volume of ink with just one press on the button.  The 14 Ct. Gold nib is unusual in that it is the larger No. 25, rather than the No.10 size found in later Victorys.  It writes extremely well, laying down a smooth, consistent, fine to medium line.  Although the nib is not flexible it still has the slightly 'soft' feel that parker managed to achieve with many of its 14Ct. Gold nibs.  It is a very 'easy' writer.

The pen is in excellent vintage condition with some very light usage marks, the surface is good and the Gold filling is unbrassed.  The barrel imprint is sharp and clear.

The Parker Victory Mk. lV is, arguably, the best of the models bearing the name.  The classic streamlined shape, tapered clip, slightly raised cap rings and deep Gold filling blend together to give a pleasing, uncluttered appearence.  At 15.5cm. when posted it is a long and elegant pen with a very solid, high quality feel.
