The Parker Victory Mk. IV was made from 1948 to 1952.  It is an 'A.F' button filler type, the letters denoting an Aluminium Filler.  This pen carries a clear date code, stamped on the barrel, for the second quarter of 1952.  At 73 years old it's the last of the Victory Mk. IV pens.

The pen has been fully restored and tested.  This included a new ink sac and pressure bar but the nib was not disturbed although ultrasonic cleaning and pressure flushing ensured that all channels were clear.  After 73 years in situ it is often best not to remove the nib from the section without good reason.  

The button filling system works well and the Parker 14 Ct. Gold Newhaven nib writes with a  fine line, well suited to someone with small handwriting.

The Parker Victory Mk. IV is, arguably, the best of the pens bearing the Victory name.  The classic streamlined shape, tapered clip, and deep Gold filling give the pen a pleasing, uncluttered appearance.  At 15.2 cm. in length when posted, it is quite a long elegant pen with a very solid, high quality feel.
