In one year I was successfulled to find all those capless :

I put photos with and without flash (so that you better imagine the real color)

From left to right :

Dark grey

Black

Dark blue

Light blue

Pink champagne

Yellow - Gold

White

And all of them are inked with differents colors. They are so many colors to try that I don't have enough pens.

I really love to read the inks review

 

 

If you have colors that I don't have in M nib, and you want to get rid of them, I can give them a new home ;)

I have the Capless yellow mustard in broad in double so if someone wants to give it a new home, leave a MP.

Nice collection. I've a few of them myself and enjoy every aspect, from the design to nib performance. Great idea and a good pen.

Thank you all.

 

I forgot to show you my first japenese pen : the capless raden.

Being my first japense, I place it in a safe place and I forgot to take a photo of it with the other.

The mother of pearl is beautiful. The look is different with every light.

Wow! Gorgeous stuff. I was considering getting one from Richard Binder, with a custom cursive italic nib. Then I got distracted by Pelikans... but now, damn. Maybe I will get a VP!

Wow, those are all really lovely. I'm definitely interested in trying out a VP (I love Pilots and the capless functionality seems so useful), and these pictures give me a good idea of what colors I'm interested in. Thank you for posting!

Beautiful collection. My first real fountain pen after my starter pen was a yellow vp that I still have and use. Don't think that I'll ever get rid of that one.

That particular meeting was held in Tokyo on Sept 7, 2008. Once in a while, two renowned Capless (and Vanishing Point) collectors in Japan show their collections at meetings of WAGNER (a fountain pen association in Japan) in Tokyo and some other locations in Japan.

Now, *that* is a collection rather than an accumulation. Lovely! And it's so nice to see how much fun you very obviously have with them.

 

As an accumulator rather than a collector, I only have one VP (a Raden) - I do love the thing, though. I really enjoyed seeing all of yours together. Thank you!

I was hoping it was closer to the location in your profile. I'll have to schedule a trip there when they are having a meeting.

@ Nausica You have a great collection!!! ...

 

In case you want to see the types and how they started.... http://carmenriverapens.com/Vanishing_Point_images/index.htm

 

 

@ko6 Did you notice at first picture first row (down) third and fourth capless? I think these are the holly grail.... Don't you agree Nikolaos? (I know you are somewhere here....)

Still missing the "White Stripe" MYU and black brother MYU with transparent section!

 

(Has somebody a "Murex" with a working clock?

 

(Thanks to Steve I found the "Black Stripe Capless" and the "White Stripe Capless")

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
