It’s the discontinued Faber-Castell TK-matic L 0.5mm
Made in Germany it will cost another $22.99 for shipping, plus import fees since it comes from Japan and sales tax which in Pennsylvaiia are 6% which adds another $70.14 so we’re up to $1.262.10 plus import fees. I have one. It’s a wonderful, great pencil, the best I’ve ever used and while I bought it in Hong Kong 52 years ago and it has served me very, very well, I could not justify paying more than maybe $200 – $250 total because I have many, many other wonderful mechanical pencils including some that use the even thinner 0.3mm leads. The 0.5mm however is better for me than the 0.3mm because the 0.3mm wears down a bit faster and doesn’t seem to offer anything on the plus side comapred to the 0.5mm.
