Does anyone know if I can use a Namiki VP nib assembly in a Pilot Capless? How do the pens compare?

Thanks.

I understood the VP and the Capless were the same pen with different names for different markets. Unless you mean the capless Decimo? In which case the answer is yes, but you might need to do a little modification.

You very well can. Indeed the Pilot Capless IS the Namiki Vanishing Point so the nib assembly is one in the same. (Decimo excluded).
