The Montblanc Generation writing instruments from the Kaufhof anniversary campaign, according to information from Montblanc, come from their own stock, which the Kaufhof chain had collected over a longer period — these are real remainders, not special deliveries. Prices were below the conditions even authorised dealers can achieve directly with Montblanc. Such campaigns must, by law, be available for at least two days; the offer was nationwide; popular models (e.g. pencils for 79 euros) were therefore quickly sold out online, while branches still had stock.
