From when was the Faber-Castell Classic Ebony line offered platinum-plated, and how high were the list prices of the silver-plated variant?

The Classic Ebony line is today predominantly known in the platinum-plated version, although a silver-plated variant existed in the past and can correspondingly tarnish. Current list price for the fountain pen in platinum-plated version is around 420 euros. Silver-plated pieces are visually more appealing but more care-intensive, while platinum-plated variants are tarnish-resistant. Detailed data on the exact change of coating variant and list prices of the rollerball version were not conclusively documented in the thread.
