Montblanc's Artisan editions, among them the True Princess, Magic Beauty I and II and the barely circulated White Perl, were according to the company's own statement of 2003 not formally limited, but were made only in very small numbers and sold as a boutique special edition. Since production ran for only a short time, the pieces seldom appear in the trade. Collectors report that no sales brochures of their own were ever issued for these series; all that survives is a price list published by Montblanc for the True Princess.
No fakes of the Artisan range were known up to 2004. The elaborate construction of these writing instruments makes copying difficult, and the nib at the latest provides an unmistakable point of difference.
