Sadly the photograph itself was lost in a transatlantic home relocation - but I still have the pencil (and in constant use!)

yeah - aside from the nostalgia, it’s not the typical pencil in my collection. It’s the SC grip that tanks it for me.

Are these all ‘unique’, as in: the production process was so that there no duplicate patterns?

yes! that’s what I like the most about them. Each one is different.
The colors are similar but the swirl marbling is always unique

I have a few Tikky specials in pearlescent colors (mid-1990s?). (I believe the more common “mica grey” is also part of the range). And I’m certain I’ve seen a pearlescent red Tikky special somewhere online.
Does anyone have info about the pearlescent Tikky specials or have other colors?

Supplemental: I just watched your amazing rOtring T: The Incredible History (1979-2008) – Full Timeline Review video - and realized I’d missed a detail - here is an image of the right hand side of the clip mount.
