What characterises the Heiko Filius, and which nib variants existed?

Articles from the collector portal GDR (East-German) writing instruments FAQ entry

The Heiko Filius came onto the market in the 1960s and is the oldest of today's known Heiko models. It was available in various colour variants, e.g. green-marbled. As nib, optionally a steel nib or a glass nib was used. Today fully intact specimens can only rarely be found, since the cap often shows cracks.
