Anyone know the difference between the two different versions of Faber Castell DS 75 models?
The bottom one looks like it has no knock or at least the button is different and is referred to as “Faber Castell DS 75 W.Germany 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil initial ver” by SGMP on Ebay.

This is a too late reply.
Looking at the 1984 Faber-Castell catalog, you can see that the product with the knob sticking out is a later product.

The product in the top photo is the late model, and the product in the bottom photo is the early model. The later model has a logo engraved in the middle of the body.
And here is the 1984 faber-castell catalogue.
