My Collection Of Capless

[Nausica]

Since I read this forum, I felt in love with japan pen.

 

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)

 

The plain color :

From left to right :

Green

Vivid red Limited edition 2009

Orange Limited edition 2007

Yellow mustard - Only sold in Japan

Yellow orange

Mandarin yellow Limited edition 2003

Ice green Limited edition 2010

Ice blue Limited edition 2006

Gray (light) or silver

Pink Limited edition 2011

Violet Limited edition 2008

 

The carbon edition. The only one I don't have : the black one

From left to right : Red / Blue / Green and the new one : white

 

And my Decimo

From left to right :

Dark grey

Black

Dark blue

Light blue

Pink champagne

Yellow - Gold

White

Red

 

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.

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Let me know when the capless museum is up and running and accepting visitors! Good work!

[Nausica]

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.

[daintydimsum]

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!

Fantastic collection...thanks for sharing. I only have one, but I do enjoy using it.

 

[WirsPlm]

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.

thank you for the link

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.

[Centopar]

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.

Totally adorable collection!

@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....)

[maksim]
