The standard models move price-wise comparable to or slightly above the Montblanc Writers Editions, while Limited Editions, depending on material, fall significantly more expensively; concrete prices are best enquired about directly with the manufacturer Horst. Astoria goes back to a former Montblanc designer who became self-employed with the claim of building an ideal fountain pen and who is valued in the collector scene through his repair work. The design picks up the tie clip from models from the 30s and from the Meisterstücks of the 13x range, which is a matter of taste. The advertising on fountainpen.de takes place out of conviction and without financial reward.
