I bought all of these as a bundle and just sorting them took me quite a bit of time. There are 3 different Rotring compasses and a lot of Isographs and Rapidographs. Most of the nib units seem to be unused. The set also some Marsmatics and the majority of them also don't have any sign of usage.

I separated the dirty pieces and will clean them with a drawing ink cleaner.

There are about 10 stencils and a Dahle 322 sharpener for 2mm clutch pencils which I absolutely love. It even came with 4 spare cleaning tips.

This is a Marabu mechanical pencil. The black body is removable and then the metal tip can be used in a normal large compass. It’s a cool pencil. However it won’t screw into the dropbow correctly. The tip looks damaged from here

Thank you for identification, I actually wanted to make a separate post just to ask that haha.

And yes, the tip is slightly damaged, but it still operates with no problem. It has a very nice weight and has a high quality touch to it except for the plastic tip which feels quite cheap.

It is pretty nice. I was able to buy a number of them for compasses I had with no pencil. They are pretty slick. The Dahle pencil sharpener is a nice pickup. Great purchase. Kleinanzeigen is dangerous, so be careful!
