Identifying a Pentel 3 by the tip?

I’m looking for a Pentel 3 (ML3 “middle” with a fixed tip) to complement my PS513. I’m trying to use nimrods book to find it by looking at the tip


From @nimrodd Book, B is PS513 and C is the ML3 with fixed tip

Looking at what is available on ePrey today, these all appear to be PS513. Agreed?

If I have an extra one I’ll sell it for a steal. Let me check.

Between $25 and $40 in a realistic world.

I’m still bummed out that the ‘Pentel 3’ mark was not engraved / etched like the 5/7/9 versions on the S55…

There was engraving of the 3/5/7/9 marks on the ML3,S55/S57/S59 on earlier generations. But, if you back further the S55/S57/S59 all had “5” etched on them. Kind of mess in some ways.
