GRAPH 1000 LIMITED 0.3 Mechanical Pencil Early 2008 Edition

This is a Pentel GRAPH 1000 limited 0.3, silver.

I bought it to see what 0.3 was like, but I didn't like the thin lead, so I wrote with it once and put it in a plastic bag and stored it in a desk drawer. Therefore, it's almost in the same condition as when it was new.

There is no rust on the metal parts, no deterioration of the rubber parts, and no discoloration of the resin. I think this condition is super rare for something that's almost 20 years old.

Looking at the purchase date and product code, it seems to be the first limited edition from 2008.
It matches the time I bought it, so there's probably no mistake.
It seems that only 50,000 were made.

It's popular in Korea, and the wiki is more detailed there than in Japan, so I'll paste the relevant part.

Limited 1

Limited 1 was released in 2008. It was the first limited edition, with 50,000 units released to commemorate the sale of 10 million GRAPH 1000s. [5] It was very popular at the time of its release, and the Japanese limited edition was released a few months before the official release in Korea. White was especially popular, and the purchase price of unused second-hand products is currently quite high.

The lead sizes are 0.3 and 0.5, and it was released in 5 colors (black, red, metal blue, pearl white, and silver). [6] Unlike the matte finish of the Pro, Limited 1 showed off an oily sheen, creating a difference. The internal lead is Pro HB. [6]
