The ballpoint is genuine; correctly it is called 'Meisterstück Solitaire Hommage à Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart' or 'Solitaire Malachit', although the designation 'Czar Nikolai I' was not officially used as a product name. The labelling 'Solit. Malachit' on the packaging is an abbreviated correct statement and no indication of a counterfeit. The material used is vermeil, that is, solid sterling silver with gilding, not solid gold; the ID numbers were 02020 (price list 2000) or 02987 (price list 2002). The named price of 180 euros is plausible.
