APIS F-3100 FOUNTAIN PEN & MECHANICAL PENCIL
아피스 F-3100 만년필 & 샤프
Apis is the first Korean fountain pen company that was founded in 1956 in Busan.
Sadly, Apis stopped making products, so there is no more new pens.
Only the closed factory is remained as a historic place.
By the way, apis means honey bees in Greek.
The model name is F-3100.
F means fountain pen, and Apis pens have model numbers ranging from two digit numbers to four digit numbers.
In general, higher numbers tend to indicate premium models.
This was made in 1980s.
The old warranty card.
It also explains how to use fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and mechanical pencils.
It has a silver color metal body.
The whole body has horizontal stripe patterns.
The clip, the top, and the bottom of the pen are gold color metal.
The model name is printed in the sticker.
I couldn't know its name without this sticker.
The gold color nib with Apis name.
"Apis super quality. Made in Korea."
Apis made their own nibs.
Therefore, Apis produced the fountain pen by themselves from the very beginning.
I also found that I have its mechanical pencil counterpart.
They share the same stripe patterns.
