I grew up in the Eastern block and I remember my grandma's set of Rotring mechanical pens (with ink) was promised to me the day I turned 18 but I so wanted that set when I was much younger (in fact at an age I was still playing with Matchbox cars). As I remember they were very finnicky and needed to be declogged quite frequently.

I was a proud owner of their Rapidiograph technical pens as a teenager. I didn’t realize they made mechanical pencils too.
