Pedalling

b. 299-300

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

 in A (→GE)

No sign in FE (→EE)

 [] [] suggested by the editors

The missing  sign in A (→GE) can be Chopin's oversight; however, it is not entirely clear where it is to be added. The pedal is certainly to be held at least for a half of the bar, yet probably much longer. The signs suggested by us determine a section in which a pedal's release sounds most naturally (it is best to do it gradually as the so-called diminuendo pedal).
Leaving out the pedalling in FE (→EE) is certainly a mistake.

No markings in sources

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

We consider the omission of pedalling markings in this bar to be Chopin's oversight – cf. analogous bar 306.

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

No markings in A (→GE)

The  sign in FE (→EE) was certainly added by Chopin – cf. analogous bar 179. In that case the composer also did not mark the place of the pedal's release. In the main text we suggest an addition, compliant with the revision introduced in EE.
