Hi to all,
I finally managed to join Knockology, long time overdue.
Great article Patrick…can’t wait to see more.

[Pdunc67]

Thanks Dux - glad you are here. I’m sure your rotring knowledge will be well received!

Guys for those who do not know Dux, he is the administrator/curator of the rOtring Museum

Great to have you here @Dux. Your website has been a great resource — thank you!

[Dux]

Thanks for the introduction.
Glad to join you.

[Dux]

Thanks.
Trying my best to document rotring stuff.

Hi Dux! We once met in person in Split - you sold me a Rotring Lambda. Welcome

[Dux]

Oh, hi,
Of course, yes, I remember.
Thanks

Have any of you seen these marbled Specials in any catalogs? I’m trying to find out when they were sold.

I have the middle one in 0.9mm. Love it.

Interestingly I discovered that tikky aqua green is the only tikky that has w. germany mark and new tikky logo.
The only overlap between two.

[Pdunc67]

Do you have an image that shows the old and new logo?

You can see it here.
It is set of 3.

rOtring released what I call the “proto-Tikkys” (F, S, T and GT) in 1979, before they even had the name Tikky.

I had a question about the names of the GT, S, T and F…

I remember reading something somewhere about the significance of the model name:

T = technical pencil

S = sliding sleeve

F = fixed sleeve

But what does GT stand for?

Gran Turismo

LS = Locking System

Just received a Tikky Wooden and to say that I’m ecstatic is an understatement.
