For your consideration, we are pleased to offer this circa 1998 Rotring 600 for Levenger Fountain Pen in Silver, fitted with a Medium stainless steel nib. This exceptional New Old Stock example remains completely unused, never inked or dipped, and retains its original “M” (Medium) identification sticker on the end of the barrel. Accompanied by its original Rotring presentation box, literature, and factory outer cardboard box, this is a beautifully preserved example of a highly distinctive modern writing instrument.
The Rotring 600 has earned a devoted following among collectors for its unmistakable industrial design, precision engineering, and purposeful functionality. The Levenger edition retains the architectural lines and technical character that distinguish the 600 series, with a faceted cap and barrel finished in understated matte silver. Knurled detailing on the section and end caps provides both visual texture and a tactile connection to the instrument’s precision-inspired design. The result is a fountain pen that feels deliberate in every detail, standing apart from the rounded profiles and conventional styling of many contemporary pens.
The condition of this example is remarkable. The cap and barrel are flawless, free from dents, scratches, cracks, or visible wear. The cap secures to the barrel with the intended precision friction fit. One of the Rotring 600’s particularly thoughtful design features is its rotating cap top, which allows the user to orient the nib point for quick visual reference when the pen is capped. The clip is crisply stamped “Rotring,” with “Japan” marked on its side. The stainless steel nib carries the Rotring name and an “M” designation on the shoulders, identifying it as a Medium point.
The original Rotring converter is included and remains never inked. It has been tested with water and functions as intended. The fountain pen itself has never been inked or dipped, preserving its original unused status for its next owner. This distinction is particularly appealing to collectors who value New Old Stock examples that have not been put into service.
Measuring approximately 5 1/2 inches capped and 7 inches posted, and weighing 1.45 ounces, the Rotring 600 has a substantial, solid feel that complements its precise, technical aesthetic. Its faceted geometry, matte silver finish, and carefully executed knurled details give it a distinctive presence whether displayed in a collection or eventually enjoyed as a writing instrument.
The Rotring 600 occupies a special place among modern technical fountain pens, admired for its purposeful design and enduring appeal to enthusiasts of industrial styling. Examples preserved in genuinely unused condition, particularly those retaining their original identification sticker and complete factory packaging, offer a compelling opportunity for the collector seeking a particularly well-preserved example.
Condition: Mint, New Old Stock. Never inked, used, or dipped, this Rotring 600 for Levenger is complete with its original presentation box, literature, outer cardboard box, ink cartridges, and unused converter. From its flawless matte silver finish to its retained Medium identification sticker, this is an exceptionally well-preserved example of Rotring’s distinctive design philosophy. A superb candidate for a collection devoted to modern classics, German design, or technically inspired writing instruments.
