Description
A resolutely modern writing instrument, the Capless pen is currently the only retractable fountain pen in the world. The seal is provided by a minuscule metal shutter which is as discreet as it is reliable.
The Capless’ barrel contains a mechanism of rare precision, which allows the nib to retract into the barrel when not in use.…
The Pilot Capless Fountain pen has an 18kt gold nib and uses a cartridge/converter filling system.
The first Pilot pens were launched in Japan in 1918. At this time, the country was opening up to Western influences and was importing European techniques. By listening to their customers, Pilot’s research has enabled them to create new standards in terms of comfort and innovative products.

What’s there to say about the iconic Pilot vanishing nib retractible fountain pen? One of the best features of this and other vanishing points is the nib is protected when not in use. The one I have is a wet writing medium nib and very smooth. Don’t hesitate to order from Appelboom—they have impeccable service.
