I have seen the gold with a black plastic cap. @svb has it.

Fixpencil is really a bottomless pit. After 97 years of production, it should be bottomless. Thanks for digging in that pit and showing us what is there.

I am SO AFRAID to get serious with Fixpencils and Criteriums… and so I remain the opportunist sniper and deep appreciator of whatever I manage to acquire :smiley:

Swiss and French makers are a rabbit hole; proceed at your own risk — it is a worthy journey, though.
