In the booklet shown in the Ebay advertisement, I noticed a #35. Is that for historical interest and context or is this a re-issue? I have an original and it's one of my favorite pens: flexible nib, classic and restrained styling, reasonable ink capacity, too!

Probably, the 're-issue' is limited to the picture 😜

I see! 

I don't dislike the cigar shape, but much prefer a flat top. But, of course, I would love even more a marbled resin, in any shape.

 

I, unfortunately, have not been able to restrict my collecting to just one brand (or period). 

Even though I started collecting in 2015, I believe I acquired my first MB in 2018 or so, and now I must have around 25 of them (but, they are just 5-6% of my collection, I'm somewhat ashamed to say). From time to time I do toy around with the idea of decreasing the collection and focusing on some higher end pens, though. But it seems that for each pen I sell, I buy two to celebrate! 🤦‍♂️

Totally agree with you about the marble resin. Wonderful collection anyway! Congratulations!

New pictures coming out.

Am I right in noticing that there are some scratched lines in the Le Grand body?

I really do like the green.

I wonder if the green simply won't be coming in a larger size

That's my choice if buying any of them.

Apparently, now it is just for the Classique since Le Grand is in blue.

I'm glad that I prefer the LeGrand size more than the 149 size.

I want a striated/swirled/marbled all-resin model. No bling...

There was a grey marbled 146 decades ago, golden trim:

Yes, something like this would be a huge hit! 

Gray with Platinum trim or Green with Gold trim or Brown with Rose Gold trim. That's how I would pair them. I would buy all three. So would many others buy at least one of those. Let's see if they're smart enough to do this.

 

Please take my money!

It would be an excellent idea to release the full collection (Le Grand and Classique) in both colors.

Does anyone have any idea of the pricing of these editions

145 in green is about 880 euro.

I paid $1,660 US for the Doue LeGrand Navy and Platinum and $1,226 US for the Resin 149 Black and Platinum (in Canadian funds).

 

I wonder if the supply will meet the demand since I’m assuming it will be a limited production.  Also what the timing will be for the next releases in the collection.

 

FYI: From The Origin Collection catalogue:

“The clip featured in the collection is an homage to the many different clip versions that existed during the 1920s. The Doué and Solitaire editions feature a pattern from an early design study that was never officially launched. The three colours chosen for the design of the editions is inspired by one of the earliest testaments of the colours used on a Meisterstück.”

Expected delivery to a Canadian boutique will be in April … no updates yet.  They also couldn’t guarantee that they could fill my pre-release order in the first shipment.  When I receive them I’ll post.

But where did you buy it? Since they don't seem to be available anywhere.

In Lisbon, they are already available in the boutiques.

Oh, wow!

Well, I live in the middle of nowhere and the closest boutique is about 1000 miles away! 

So, I'll have to wait for it to show up online - the problem is that buying online it is a hassle to change the nib, since I have to buy a medium and then send it in (I'm thinking a BB).

Does anyone know if authorized dealers (not boutiques) will also carry those?

(they didn't carry the Orient Express).
