Recent article I found on the Nikon F2 that I received from a dear friend, who's husband purchased in 1973. I know mine did not go to the moon, but was made around that time. It's a great camera none the less.
If requested I will submit photos using my DSLR.

You’re right. I have one (post 733....) albeit on its 2nd shutter) and it still functions. It has the cover on the film advance and timer. Interesting and thanks.

Nikon F2 are never called Apollo...only late Nikon F. There are more significant improvements that the article don't mention. One is the reinforced strap lugs, another is the threaded flash cable connection. (Sorry don't remember the correct word//I am Swedish). The little knob that disconnect the prism has a slot so you can press the button with your nails. There are many good articles about the Apollo version but the one you quoted is not the best.
