I think it was about 6 years ago when I sold this wonderful Platinum BelAge mechanical pencil on eBay. It ended up going to a buyer somewhere in South America… where it was tragically lost in their local mail system. In retrospect, I wish I had kept it. I’ve never seen another one since. I didn’t buy it outright–it came in a small lot of mechanical pencils. Clearly an executive type design (versus drafting), but built solid. I really liked that sword clip with 3 spaced holes in the center. But also, the olive drab body made it feel like a pencil that an Army officer might have tucked in his shirt pocket.
Has anyone here ever seen this model and in another colors?

The BelAge models are all over the place. I have a few interesting pieces, but I don’t recall seeing this one before. To be honest, I probably would have overlooked it due to the rounded rings, which give off a whiff of bulbous executive vibes that I always avoid 
But I have to say, the BelAge pieces in particular have caught my attention over the years. I even spent a good chunk of time procuring a mini collection on an open proxy.

Would be nice to see your BelAge collection at some point.
I do agree about the rings. I wish they’d been flat.

Apparently there was a red version. I believe there must’ve been a black one as well. Perhaps even a navy blue? If you manage to spot one, let me know.
