Gunther, yes these are Minerva pencils. In the past they weren’t common here. I work for a university and they have little stores in some buildings, where they sell sandwiches and stationery. The one closest to me started selling Minerva pencils a few years ago. I kept buying them, but unfortunately they are now replacing them with no name pencils – fake Noris lookalikes….
I only look the 111 up after a recent conversation we had, I agree this would be a great match.
Great! Are the read ones Minerva pencils? – The pig eraser would be a perfect match for the old pink Staedtler Steno 111 🙂
I think I will go down to my local branch. Thanks for the head’s up.
Thank you for your comments.

Bruce, I hope you’ll find some nice stuff.
Thanks Matthias – my daughter uses those Noris colouring pencils in her Graphics classes, and an extra pack or two should be useful to have around!
Tesco has great stationery offers at the moment, too. Couldn’t resist and bought more pens…
