It seems Hogan wasn’t the only colonel at Stalag 13 who used Eberhard Faber Blackwing pencils.

And it looks like there were at least four more ready to go in his pencil pot:

Given that they were around on set, I suppose now the hunt is on to see how many cast members can be found holding a Blackwing.

Thanks again to reader Dan for the tip!
With them supposedly being in Lower Franconia, not too far from Faber-Castell and Staedtler he probably stole them off Hogan.
Unless there was a secret pencil exchange going on between the different Faber descendants on either side of the pond.

Instead of which cast members were using them I’d look for the writers who used them.

That seems like a difficult thing to do without ‘backstage’ access. I’m glad we got to see which characters used them. I think it was in the nineties when it was on telly in my country. Back then I didn’t even know about the Blackwing, so I’m happy Blackwingpages made this connection.
