    I think you guys are getting thrown by the marking on the pen label and box. It reads:
    M150 / 481
    There is NO M in front of the 481.
    The 481, I am sure, refers to the boxed version with the commemorative ink bottle and not the pen. The pen remains an M150, M200, M250 or M400.

    I agree with you, whych, when it comes to the 150 since the M150 and M150/481 versions are the same. You are also probably right that there is no M designation. When it comes to the 481/200 variant though, I have to disagree that it remains just an M200 in a commemorative box. It is distinct in that it has its own trim level and friction fit nibs which I think makes it a significantly different variant, though still closely related to the M200 in terms of size and overall features. There is much more seperating the M200 and the 481/200 than just a commemorative box.

    Next time I see one of the boxed versions come up on ebay.de, I will take a closer look and ask the guys for more pics for you.
    I have seen a couple come up with M200 and M400 pens in them, so they also made them for the German Market as well.

    Here is a pen that I just bought on eBay. This appears to me to be the green 481/200 variant. Interesting that it is actually tagged M481.
