What are Authograph Sets and picture frames of the Montblanc Writers Edition, and which official variants exist?

Articles from the collector portal Limited Editions FAQ entry

The Authograph Sets of the Writers Edition are special packagings about twice as large as the standard version and contain additional material on the author. Included are an image of the author with a recreated but handwritten signature as well as reproduced handwritten texts. The picture frames likewise contain, alongside the writing instrument, a sheet with the author's portrait and a reproduced handwritten text. Official Authograph Sets include Oscar Wilde Pencil with Ident no. 09051, Voltaire Pencil with 09052, Dumas N Fountain Pen with 09053, Dumas N Pencil with 09054, the Dumas N 3-piece set with 09055, the Dostoevski Fountain Pen with the numbers 09104 in M and 09105 in B, and the Schiller Fountain Pen with 09108 in M and 09109 in B. Picture frames with an inset writing instrument do not count as part of the official product range; many of these frames were made for promotional purposes and were never sold regularly, which is why on the market additionally self-assembled pieces circulate. The edition sizes of the Authograph Sets and the picture frames are not known; they were produced primarily to sell off remaining stocks.
