Discover a fascinating piece of drafting history with this Markant Vintage GDR Technical Drawing Pen Set. Originating from the German Democratic Republic, this set embodies the functional design of mid-century East German engineering, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The set is neatly organized within its original red and clear plastic case, featuring a vibrant blue felt interior. Inside, you'll find the primary grey plastic drawing pen, equipped with a distinctive gold-colored metal clip that adds a touch of classic sophistication. This pen is designed for precision and comfortable use, essential for technical illustrations and detailed drawings.

Accompanying the pen are nine (9) assorted metal nibs, each crafted for specific line widths. Visible sizes include 0.1, 0.12, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8.. Also included are a specialized metal nib adjustment tool and a small screw accessory, vital for maintaining and customizing your drafting experience.

As a vintage item, this Markant set displays characteristic signs of its age and history. The metal nibs exhibit some surface rust and discoloration, consistent with years of storage. The durable plastic case shows general surface wear, scuffs, and a noticeable chip on one corner of the red base. The clear lid has various scratches and a slight yellowing, while the blue felt interior presents some dust and minor staining. The pen itself is in good vintage condition with light scuffs.

This complete collection, despite its minor flaws, remains a significant find for drafting enthusiasts, vintage stationery collectors, or those with an appreciation for historical East German craftsmanship. The entire case measures approximately 14.5 cm (5.7 inches) long, 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) wide, and 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) high, making it a compact and displayable piece.
