The Bohème Steel ballpoint exists; compared to the black precious-resin variant, it is significantly more expensive (new price around 690 euros). The value on the second-hand market depends strongly on the polishing condition: if scratches can be polished out, the purchase can be worthwhile; deeper damage on metal models can expose the coating, and a complete replacement by Montblanc is in such cases very expensive. For a near-scratch-free example, a price around 240 euros counts as a bargain, while offers in worn condition are to be critically checked.
