Latest addition to my A.W. Faber Castell leadholder collection: this dark blue TK 9500 Loctite was probably produced in the 1980s, for I could not find the exact same match featured in the Leadholder Museum. Judging from similar E-bay offerings, this drafting pencil was also available in classic green, yellow, and red. Made in Germany. The pocket clip is removable if you find it obtrusive. Measuring just over 5.25" (134 mm with the lead fully retracted), the TK 9500 Loctite is the most compact from the bunch and easiest to carry in a pocket. Recommended as a fine sketching tool.
