Hello. WTB vintage copying leads in dia 2.0 mm - I know that Faber Castell made them. Want soft (weich) and medium (mittel) hardness, viollet (not colored ones). If somebody has 0.9 mm also, let me know please. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, Koh-I-Noor used to have the “Mephisto” lineup of copying pencils, and they produced lead cores as well (I think I saw some listings on the Bay back in the day: black plastic containers with domed caps and gilt imprints; very fun pieces).
Also, if you can be interested, I may check whether I still have some copying lead in 1.8mm or 1.18mm; some of my original inventory went to another collector in a trade, but I may have some leftover stock here.
For thin-lead (0.5mm) consider as well Staedtler’s Mars Non-Print (violet) and Mars Non-Photo-Blue (turquoise); not “copying” lead per se, but maybe interesting as well.
