Rotring 600 vs Rotring Newton Comparison

When discussing vintage pens and pencils, the Rotring Newton is often confused with the older -- the original -- Rotring 600. Both are great pens and mechanical but they are quite alike. Even so, they are distinctly different models and while the Newton echoes the design of the 600 it is not a Rotring 600.

Question: paid $200 for a Rotring Newton lava (thought it was a 600). Did I get ripped off? I should've researched, but didn't know the differences beforehand. : r/fountainpens
