Have you had a look at the Montblanc website? There are lots of these "Homage to ..." editions, amongst others Napoleon, Hadrian (presumably as in Emperor or Wall), Mozart, J F Kennedy, Victor Hugo, Conan Doyle, even Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. So if RK is turning in his grave he's in good (and even bad?) company!

Since he sued Sanatogen for using his name and work in an advertiement, I imagine he would indeed have had something to say about this.
