Kaweco 的 Sport 系列早在1911年就出現,但是當時的筆款在外形上與後來大家所熟知的Sport系列仍有相當大的不同。
1929年五月,原 Kaweco宣告破產,後來被一家小筆廠收購(名稱,專利及部份機具),30年代,許多德國筆廠試著擺脫美國筆的影響,新的Kaweco也試著走出屬於自家或是德國筆廠的特色,而新的Sport系列,也於30年代中期發表,真正開啓了Kaweco Sport口袋鋼筆的傳奇。
Kaweco 筆廠於1962年開始生產配備Concealed nib(照翻應該是隱藏式筆尖,但個人覺得比較像半開放式筆尖)的筆款,所有開頭為"V"的型號即為配有半開放式筆尖的筆款,Kaweco Sport V16即為其中之一。
Kaweco Sport V16 是在1970年左右生產的Sport 系列,除了採用半開放式筆尖外,基本上V16無論是尺寸,外型以至於活塞上墨系統的設計,都與30年代中期所發表的Kaweco Sport系列沒什麼太大的不同。
V16 的半開放式筆尖筆調稍硬,但筆尖具彈性,出墨量穩定,寫起來會有“刷刷”的聲音,不算是乾,也不會刮,寫起來算是感覺還不錯的筆。
V16 除了活塞上墨款外,Kaweco也在1979年試作卡水版的V16,不過,只做了prototype 並沒有正式生產,後來Sport系列也隨著1980年Kaweco筆廠關門而暫時劃下了休止符。

Hi nice blog always look forward to new post to see new pens added to your collection!
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask did you buy your Kaweco Sport V16 on Martin Auctions? From the picture on Martin, the V16s I saw do not have the engravings of 'V16' at the back of the pen. Maybe their picture did not capture the engraving. Maybe their V16 is just a remake to pay tribute to the old V16. By the way would you mind telling me how much you spent on you V16? And where you bought it?
I am totally addicted to Kaweco pens...
Hi Cecil,
ReplyDeleteI do like Kaweco pens too.
I purchased my V16 from ebay in about 1 or 2 years ago. But I really don't remember how much I paid for it.
About the engraving, I do see some Kaweco pens have engravings without gold (or yellow) color filled.
In that case, sometimes it is really hard to see the engraving from the photo.
