I've seen the Astoria pens in real life on last weekends Hamburg Pen Show.

 

Those are truely beautiful pens and the finish looks and feels perfect.

 

The pens show design elements of vintage Astoria and Montblanc pens arranged to a new design.

 

Besides that the grey-beige hard rubber looks beautiful in real life.

I have the 2009 model, it's a great pen and the nib is understated. Great handmade pens and I'm tempted by the blue edition and autumn edition (grey). Fantastic craftsmanship. I wish I could see the piston filler version one day because I've been told the pen can be ordered with either button or piston filler. If you're thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it.

 

cheers
