[Ricky2011]

nope - can't see them Ricky - will you please repeat with magnified images in UHD and close up ……………………………... only joking Ricky - very envious here of your collection of Victories - would suggest you must have the best collection of these things on FPN, and perhaps much further afield too - just don't know how you find some of the rarer varieties. Lovely pens - shame about the nearest pen in picture one, showing what I assume is some outgassing stain in the barrel - is this colour 'light and gold dark pearl'?

 

Love the top one which assume is black lined pearl - do you yet have any of the helical stripes or herringbone colours?

 

Sorry to seem thick - what is TMS. I don't think we can see the imprints in your pix, but I doubt that it really matters - thanks for posting

 

Edited: sorry, think one or two in the second picture might be either lizard or herringbone.

Very nice!

[ENewton]

Such a nice collection.

 

Do you write with them? If so, can you comment on the nibs and how they differ?

 

I like the nib on my Victory Mk 1 best of all the nibs I have. It is marked Parker 14K England 20.

[PaulS]

the No. 20 is certainly the correct No. for a Victory nib, though not so sure it would have been shown on original nibs for Mk. 1 pens. Sometimes they also have a date code and those dots we're not sure of.

I've a feeling that original nibs in Mk. 1 pens may simply have shown N for Newhave rather than a 20 - but I stand to be corrected - let's see what Ricky thinks.

Agree this is a stunning collection - well done Ricky.

[Ricky2011]

Thanks guys,

 

 

I don't use any of my pens for fear of breaking them..

 

I have seen three types of nibs + one that states warranted.

 

parker 14 k pen N

 

parker duofold 14 k pen N

 

Parker 14K England 20.

 

the pens should have - parker 14 k pen N

 

 

on a side not I have just purchased a mkii grey with an Olsen mark on it.. as my birthday treat.

[PaulS]

thanks for the information re nibs. So - I'm not alone in not using mine

[Ricky2011]

trying to work out the colurs of these two against the book. (Duofold book)

 

Scarlet or Burgundy?

[PaulS]

hmmm ........... agree not easy. Comparing to the book, the left one looks as though there is some scarlet, and the right hand one looks more like burgundy. If really pushed I'd probably go for burgundy for both - but that's just my opinion.

[Ricky2011]

just added this Mauve design to my collection.

[rbrummer]

Oh, nice.

[Erik Dalton]

Really nice pens. Don’t you want to write with them just once? 😉

[Ricky2011]

My dad got me a usb microscope for xmas as well as some pen books.. tested the microscope out on my victory MKI imprints. the three imprints on the mk1. in order.

 

@pauls will enjoy these pics.

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for sharing your Parker Victory. Stunning collection you have there.....probably not easily available...

 

How does the nibs write? Are they flexible (by default)?

 

I just saw an ad for a Mk1. very tempted.....would be my very first foray into Parker fountain pens....(only used a ballpoint pen, of course).

[Ricky2011]

sorry for mega late reply @Ryanlim, I don't write with any of my collection i still have a few spares so may start to use one this year.

 

just thought id update you with my Canadian victories.
