Found by accident – the familiar Faber-Castell Grip 2001 and Jumbo Grip in alternate finishes – red and blue, rather than silver.
The red and blue Grip 2001s (Grips 2001?) don’t indicate a degree, but appear similar to either a B or 2B.

I believe there are black ones as well.
Cool! I have several of them in gray!
Yes, the grip 2001 is also available in black and yes, the degree is B.
Gray? ther are just H pencils…
I guess Speedmaster refers to the color of the barrel. The Grip2001 in silver (=gray) is available from 2B to 2H (no F), with eraser in HB and B
Where’d you get these?
The still sell these in WHSmiths (the grey coloured one’s ONLY and jumbo ones) and the special Faber Castell sharpener too.
