Both models belong to the high-quality Solitaire range and are in no way to be compared to a school fountain pen. The Bordeaux Doué with gold-plated 925 sterling-silver cap (No. 1442) cost 1998/99 in Germany 995 DM; the Doué in sterling silver (No. 1461) 985 DM. The identification is essentially secured by the designation on the original packaging; detail prices for concrete boutique conditions at the current time were not given. Both pieces are regarded as a very good entry into a collection.
