Hello Gumbold and really sorry to hear what has happened!
Please keep in mind, that your Montblanc pen has only little to do with the one from Octopussy.
The one used in the movie was the large model 149 in gold-plated brass with a metal pen cap.
Yours is the medium size 146 in gold-plated Sterling Silver with the later resin pen cap.

Thanks Bondtoys - I didn't realise the pen was different so have changed the listing to 'similar' rather than identical, as it will still make a nice display item next to the egg (which, I'm fairly sure, I bought from you!).
Cheers Gumbold, hope that you don't mind the public warning.
I would have loved to sell you the egg, but it has been a company with a similar url name....
I have been the first one who came up with the idea to put blue stones into the green egg an later I realized, that someone else liked the idea also.
The company does not make the green eggs anymore - glad that I have purchased a large stock at the time when they have been still available.

He he I think you actually might realize that someone came up with the blue stone idea first!
how did you ever get on with your copy horseshoes for the Seiko Sports 100 watch?
Infact I was the one who ordered the first green egg with the blue stones. It took almost 4 months to get it ready.
Sometimes later, you saved the exclusive rights on that for your limited run.
I never managed to get the horseshoes reproduced but I still have some perfect complete watches of that type.

Hello Markus - I was always interested in your repro Seiko watch parts when you told me and had always wondered whether you managed to get the quality right.
when we first took on the eggs in 2003 they were white or clear crystals and when these became unavailable for some reason we did switch to blue which were kept afterwards. Its a few years ago but somewhere I still have the corespondance
I know you were going to get your own eggs made, closer to the originals, did you ever pursue that?
Few years ago i saw SD walnut display box go for around $800US
But then again few months before FE released their GG (last quarter of 2010), SD Golden Gun with walnut box etc. in excellent condition fetched only 550EUR which is around $680US
Knowing who to trust is Everything in this business.

Are these really sold out? I was told they were part of the regular TF collection and thus always available.
Only slightly different buttons
