FABER CASTELL PROGRESS 5555 FOUNTAIN PEN?
파버카스텔 프로그레스 5555 만년필?
This will be a short post since I already posted Progress 55 fountain pen in two times.
As I mentioned in the earlier post, there were two different models 55G and 55S depending on the nib. (S for stainless steel nib and G for 14K gold nib)
In terms of its appearance, this fountain pen looks precisely indentical to the Progress 55 fountain pen.
The cap also says, Faber-Castell Progress.
The cap tells it undoubtedly belongs to the Progress line.
Strangely, this one has the model number 5555.
Not 55S or 55G, but 5555.
What on earth does this number mean?
I believe it's not a coincidence they share the same number "55."
When I first saw this, I naively thought that the cap and the barrel came from different fountain pens.
That is, the barrel is not that of Progress 55 model.
To my surprise, Progress 55 models and this 5555 model are again totally identical.
The way semi-hooded nib is seen, the shape of the grip part, the window with slits, and the silver ring above it.
Including all these features, the barrel looks exactly the same in every aspect.
Hence, it's difficult to believe this 5555 fountain pen doesn't belong to the Progress 55 family.
I hope if somebody knows more about this strange fountain pen.
Admittedly, I couldn't find much about this enigma.
You might not be interested in delving into its identity, but I'd like to unravel this puzzle.
