He’s inadvertently teasing you now…. TWO 237?
A blue AND a red? No one deserves such riches all to themselves!

So a 3.15mm lead? The woodclinched version are great for drawing
I’m going to say the Baignol Farjon 1ere Marque 235 is 12cm… I’ll have to measure, but its very close to that. The clip isn’t removeable, as far as I’ve been able to attempt… it appears to be secured with a rivet like friction fitting top to the button- I tried unscrewing it, to no avail, though I see @lsd300 has one without the clip unless its hiding behind.
The Marquise 703 is a twist lock nose- one of the very simplest and most reliable mechanisms. My favourite mechanism, too, if pushed.
And yes that 704 is quite lovely- very useful to keep in a pocket out drawing, for a touch of colour.
Here’s the Baignol Farjon ‘Veto’ also…
This one’s interesting as it has a cool feature internally, using one long spring to replace the usual lead tube/spring combo. The collet screws directly into the coils of the spring to assemble the mechanism…
great efficient designing from the French. Gives it a surprisingly well balanced weight as well.

Some Baignol Farjon sales dsplays also…
This one is repurposed from another oversized woodclinched range, I just liked the design
Something from the 1960s
