Pilot Custom Grandee - Did It Ever Come In Rosewood?

[JLS1]

A few days ago, I was visiting my local B&M pen store (Stylo.ca in downtown Montreal - highly recommended, BTW) when I spotted a wooden Pilot Custom Grandee in their selection of Pilot pens. I was excited because the Maple body of my Custom Grandee was breaking and I've been looking for an alternative and/or a replacement.

 

Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed when I saw the $250 price tag. One of the owners (who I know and trust) explained that the price was because this pen was made from Rosewood, whereas my existing pen was made from maplewood. However, I've not found any support for this from searching on the Internet.

 

Does anyone know if the Custom Grandee was made from Rosewood?

 

Thanks in advance,

Justin
