So many people have described and sold the Newton as the new (smooth) version of the 600. That puts the production most likely in one of Sanfords production facilitys, with the assembly happening in Hamburg Germany.Do you know of any places bar ebay where NOS or good condition ones are still sold?Wow! Fabulous review JPS and excellent presentation.

Also, my first "major" pen purchase was a rotring 600 series triopen in '97 - and at the time, I thought that the 600/Newton labeling was almost synonymous or something, because I thought it was one line with more than one name. I suspect Bock made the nibs but have no real evidence to support it.Thanks so much for this post.

I suspect Bock made the nibs but have no real evidence to support it.I wrote an email to a friend of mine, but I can already tell you that its not easy to find out who made it because Rotring didn't publish these kind of informations. Do you have more pictures of the gold nibbed pens as well? Getting written information about these pens is really difficult because the company got bought by Sanford 1998 and most information of former times was lost or destroyed.Because of those somewhat murky waters I'm gonna refrain from trying to exactly date the generationsThe mechanism for holding the cap changed too over the years, but there was a cross over period, so there are 1st Gen Caps with 2nd Gen holding caps:EF, F, M, OM, B, OB, BB, L (L only starting 2nd Gen), all were available as gold or steelNotice the difference in knurling?

There are 4 people who worked at Rotring at the time, but the person responsible for the design or sketch is not known.As a promotional item, was the pen made of mix-and-match parts, or did it have a revision or another generation of it?

At the time, I thought it got the Newton name because of the "gravity-activated" mechanism used to select the ink refills on the triopen, but I guessed incorrectly, it seems.Because of your post I looked at my Lambdas again and noticed that I've got to different caps for the rollerballs, one like the ballpoint, one like the fountain pen. Sanford initially continued sale but most likely was just selling of old stock. Not much information available. It’s stamped with Rotring’s logo on one side, and the nib grade on the other. Maybe thats the reason for the change?Most likely, but I have never been able to get a business catalogue of the time before Sanford took over - and the Lambda was not listed in the cconsumer version.The 600 was only succesful as mechanical pencil and it was marketed towards engineers. This is becoming my go-to review format for discontinued or older pens. This is very nice! The PayPal Credit account is issued by Synchrony Bank.
