For a 1958 Tech ?

[Hextejas]

I am looking to buy one as a birth year model for a friend and all I see are a flare tip and a ball end. Are those the only 2 styles that were made ?

thanks

There should be some fat handle Techs as well, from the end of the 50's.

Should?
The fat handles were only in the first half of the 1950s. The latest I have seen are around 1954.
There might be some fat handles made in Brazil or Argentina after that, but try and find one.
The only one that remained with a fat handle even in the 70s is the Psycho Tech. Very rare.

The Red Tip would be an excellent option.
