Pilot Capless Fountain Pen Rhodium Trim Yellow Gold

The first retractable fountain pen in the world! A unique design that allows the 18k gold nib and ink reservoir to be fully retracted at the click of a button (in much the same way as most ball pens). In gloss orange lacquer with rhodium-plated trim. Supplied with a converter (to use bottled ink) and a black cartridge and a cartridge cover for use when using cartridges instead of the converter.

This pen is also known as the "Vanishing Point" in some markets, either as Pilot or Namiki.

Please note that the nibs on these pens are more narrow than most. Therefore, if you want a fine point order a medium etc.

Spare nibs and cartridges are available on our website.

Availability
If an item is in stock, the words "In stock" will be shown. If an item is out of stock, the approximate number of days before we get another delivery will be shown instead. You may still be able to order the item, but there will be a delay before we can dispatch your item(s). If the words "Please enquire" are shown, it's best to check with us first before ordering.

Nib choices for fountain pens
If we show the pen with the default nib selection shown in stock it means we have stock of that pen. If you select another nib size and the website doesn't say "in stock" we can usually supply that pen immediately as we keep extensive supplies of nibs from all our manufacturers.
