Regarding Comet Denecke: It is very disapointing that they haven’t replied to my order inquiry from Germany, not even with an automated response or a negative reply. – Sorry for grumbling over it.

Hi Steven,
I didn’t say ‘Lackkappe’ is wrong, it’s only not so common as ‘Tauchkappe’ (in Austria also ‘Tauchkopf’).

Denecke I know only by name from a collector’s page
http://www.buettner-nuernberg.de/bleistift.htm
(sorry, only German). According to the homepage I would say yes, but it’s very outdated. Interesting that markel-line names Denecke a custumer on his German website

If I learn more I’ll let you know asap

The brightly capped natural finish looks great.

Frank, thank you very much for the information.

That catalogue is quite informative. Castell wine!

I saw “Lackring” and “Lackkappe” at sites such as these:

Incidentally, are you familiar with “Comet Denecke”? I am wondering if they manufacture their own pencils. (They don’t reply to my correspondence.)

Regarding pencils the usual German terminology for dipped is “Tauchkappe”(less often:”Endkappe”), which means varnished cap or end. Here you will find some translations:

Lackring sounds proper, although I can’t remember to have it read before.
