AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

1941 Parker Victory Mk 1 made in UK with Lined golden brown pine needles celluloid in Stunning Conditions!!

The Parker Victory is a pen with a lot of history behind: the Victories were manufactured in the UK by the Valentine Pen Company, which was later to become the UK Parker factory and most Victory pens have gold nibs clearly marked with an "N" to denote that they were made in Newhaven, an imprinting that begun only in 1941.

And the very first Parker model that was solely made in Newhaven was the Parker Victory.
It too shared many features with both the Valentines and the streamlined Duofolds, including the materials.

During the world war, for obvious reasons it was now hard to find plastics to match the US production, so during this period many Duofolds and Victories were made in colours not found elsewhere, making them very collectible.

Another nice story is that the English Parker Victory Series was conceived and named in honour of the Allied Victory in World War II. The World War II slogan ‘V’ for Victory is well known even today, and the name ‘Victory’ must have had a particular resonance in the years immediately following World War II.

Offering a wonderful and super rare 1941 Parker Victory Mk 1 made in UK with Lined golden brown pine needles celluloid (or candybar as you want to call it) and this pen is a real collector item.
