AUCH-Pelikan has good maintainability. The pencil can be disassembled without special tools (DO NOT do it). Fig.2 is the exploded view. The cone doesn't have a lead retainer. Instead, the cone-tip serves to hold the lead. The cone-tip has four slits (Fig.4). If loose, it  can be crimped. The chuck body has three forks (Fig.5-1). The chuck ring slides along the chuck body, regulating their opening and closing (Fig.5-2). The shaft is consisted of two parts (Fig.6). The lower part is narrowed to fit into the coil spring and allow only one lead to the chuck body (Fig.3-6). The upper part is a lead holder and has "burr" outside (Fig.7). The thread tube fixes the cap top holder with the barrel (Fig.2). The thread tube also serves as a stopper of the shaft; the inner rim of the thread tube (Fig.8) holds down the shaft with burr (Fig.3-4). The ebonite cap top is protected from the sharp shaft edge by a steel ring (Fig.9-2).

Fig.10 is the paper box (not of my pencil)​⁽²⁾.

Note;⁽¹⁾They were designed for ladies who carry it in their handbag.

²⁾We can see that "Pelikan" imprint was added around the cap top holder in a later version.
