The Parker "VS" did however continue to sell well in Europe and Olsen instead re-launched the VS, Mark III, with the new body imprint "New VS". 

nother Parker model, also produced in Denmark, was the Parker Victory. The Victory had been around since the early 1940's in different shapes and colours. The Victory MK IV, also introduced with the aluminium filler in 1948, was a standard length pen, (130 mm), it was somewhat streamlined and featured a new tapered Parker clip in the style of the previous Challenger and Parker "VS" designs. The cap had two capbands.

The clip screw and blind cap were of the same colour as the rest of the pen and some items have circles on the blind cap for better gripping. It was a plain button filler and the plastic was decidedly cheaper than that in the "VS". Especially the cap is prone to shrinkage; hence there are a lot of Populars out there with loose or missing cap rings.

Following the UK Victory design (MK V), the Popular was fitted with the aerometric filling system in 1953. As was the complete line of Duofold pens in the UK. A new, shorter model, the Demi Popular was also introduced in 1953.

The Popular models were however discontinued soon thereafter when Olsen began production of the very successful UK aerometric Duofolds.

The Popular colours:

     Black
     Grey
     Olive Green
     Rust
     Burgundy
     Blue (possibly)

In 1966 the Olsen factory at Emdrupvej was closed down. The production of Danish Parkers ceased, and the Penol brand was outsourced to manufacturers all over the world, primarily in South East Asia, and Europe. Christian Olsen remained a distributor for Parker until the company was sold to Gillette in 1993.
