APIS B-NOVA-T BALLPOINT PEN & SH597 MECHANICAL PENCIL
아피스 B-NOVA-T 볼펜 & SH597 샤프
I've posted many Apis fountain pens recently, and this post will describe two pens of Apis, not the fountain pen.
So let's make it quick.
The first pen has a black color body with some gold points.
Among many Apis pens, this one has a really strange model name.
The way its name called and in terms of the design, this pen reminds me of the Apis's F-777T model.
In fact those two are quite similar, although there are some minor differences.
As it was in the case of F-777T model, "T" seems to mean "matt" black color.
Meanwhile, the designs of the clip are dissimilar.
Since "B" refers to ballpoint pen, the letters B and T are clear.
But why Apis gave it somewhat uncommon name "nova"?
As we have seen, Apis used numbering system in most cases to name the pens.
In that sense, this pen is a highly unconventional one.
The end of the cap looks also different.
It ends with a narrowing size.
Apis's name is on there.
The grip part is also different - this model has a much simpler grip, without any patterns.
Now, this is a mechanical pencil.
It is a SH597 model.
As well as the model number, the design has some similarities to its close model, SH594.
What I have is a purple colot, and I've seen only the same color models, but I wonder whether this model had other color versions.
My hypothesis is 597 models are cheaper models for 594, even though 597 is greater than 594 as a number.
The body is mainly plastic, and both ends and clip are metals.
The metal parts were a bit rusted because of the age, unfortunately.
The frontend.
The lead sleeve can be retracted.
