APIS F234N FOUNTAIN PEN
아피스 F234N 만년필
Among diverse Apis fountain pens, this one is a silver fountain pen like this one. (I still don't know its model name, so please tell me if anyone knows about this!)
I've introduced many Apis fountain pens recently, but this one is surely older than them.
One way to estimate its age is this name tag.
Later pens have tags made of cellophane material, while older pens have paper tags like this one. (the paper tags have various shapes. For instance, refer to Apis's F3100 post.)
Its name is F234N - the last latter 'N' was used to indicate silver color pens for the older pens, together with the more obvious letter 'S.'
In fact, F234N models were even existed in 1970s, so it's enough to say this model is a quite older one.
Both the cap and barrel are polygonal silver metal, with diagonal patterns everywhere.
To compare with another silver fountain pen I mentioned at the beginning, these two fountain pens seem to have identical clips, and the top/bottom views also look the same.
The patterns are more clear in this angle.
If you enjoy this pattern, I hope you will also like this F203 model.
Apis had a nice aesthetic sense anyway.
These are top/bottom views I said earlier.
The most impressive point here comes!
Well, to be honest, I suppose Apis got inspiration from Sheaffer's to make this design.
Still, it's impressive enough that Apis possessed infrastructure to realize this design in 1970s.
The grip part is adorned with a silver ring.
Most fountain pens don't pay much attention to making grips prettier, but it doesn't apply to this one!
The nib resembles Sheaffer's triumph nib!
Full gold color, "high ruthenium," and Apis's older bell-shaped trade mark.
The huge nib looks so adorable.
I don't know why but most Apis fountain pens have squeeze type converters, which I thought as a rare one among many converter types.
