The John Lennon Edition appears in several variants, including an unlimited issue as well as a version limited to 1940 pieces. From 2010 the pieces are available; whether they will also be offered in Germany was open at the time of the discussion. The light, silver colouring is felt by some collectors as rather feminine. In content, the thematic connection between John Lennon and Montblanc is seen critically, similarly to previously with the Mahatma Gandhi Edition, because the reference between personality and luxury fountain pen feels far-fetched. The name reference recognisably serves as justification for higher prices of limited editions.
