The Flag editions (e.g. Tricolore, Stars and Stripes) were initially launched on the opening of the Montblanc flagship stores in Paris and New York and then expanded after demand. A regular edition with the German flag does not exist, which is explained by both restrained domestic demand and the abroad delicate reference to German national symbols. Via the Atelier Privé of Montblanc, individual pieces with desired motifs (also black-red-gold) can be commissioned; the prices are then in the range of 25,000 to 30,000 euros.
