The campaign indeed comprised 149 fountain pens engraved with the signature of a respective personality. In total 149 persons from politics, culture and art gave a handwritten statement, which was subsequently auctioned together with the engraved fountain pen and a photo in an about 60-by-60-centimetre plexiglass frame via eBay. There is confusion risk with the 4810 packagings of Sachs, Jahn and Putman, which contain plain 149s without engraving. Whether Sarkozy was officially involved cannot be unambiguously confirmed from the available lists.
