The Charles Dickens from the Writers Edition 2001 cost 620 euros at market introduction. Montblanc assigns to every writing instrument of a Writers Edition its own ID number, which is found, among other places, on the outer packaging; alongside, the goods number (model number) exists, which marks the entire series and on the Dickens reads M 28710. The ID numbers additionally distinguish by nib width: on the Dickens, the F nib bears the number 2480 (with special packaging Autograph 2485), the M nib 2481 (or 2486) and the B nib 2482 (or 2487). The ballpoint has the ID number 2483 (or 2452), the complete three-set 2484 (or 2488 with nib M). This differentiation makes sense above all with orders, because it avoids confusion between the nib widths and packaging variants.
