I recently found this auction on ebay for a Faulkner. I was wondering what the limitation is on these and when they were released.

As always with MB Limited Editions, the limits are very high. I couldn't find a number for the Faulkner pen on MB's webpage. However, since none of the writers' series starts below 12,000, I would say the Faulkner is somewhere between 12,000 and 20,000 (for the FP).

Now, if you would like to call this a limited edition, that is the question. Technically speaking, a pen that has been made 1 million and one times, is a limited edition. So, technically MB's edition is indeed limited. But it is super-rare? I don't think so. I personally think that everything beyond 2000-3000 shouldn't be called "Limited."
But it's all about the marketing. I am not saying that MB is the only maker that markets its edition as "LEs." But I don't think the practice is really fair and honest.

There are some Bexleys for instance that were only made 10 or 100 times. Now, I would want to call those a LE in a heartbeat.

the pen itself looks amazing a lot nice then the woolf in my opinion.

Oh yes, I definitly agree with you.....
virginia wolf, who on earth designed that pen.....

Hello, to answer to your question, the limitations about this 2007 edition are (source: MB leaflet) :
4000 sets (ball pen + fountain pen + mechanical pencil)
16000 fountain pens
18000 ball pens (although the labels on the boxes show, at least in France, a very strange x/4700 number, obviously wrong )
Concerning the large limitations used by MB, we are used to them, but MB also produces very limited editions : for example, the Rouge-et-Noir (100 ex, in 2006)

Thanks,
And your right with the rouge noir, they also did some solid gold pieces that had 100 limitations. Now here's a crazy question.... What do they put in tyhe resin to make it marble and shimmer like that?
