However, two rarities do figure on it—the transparent version, never for sale, of the Spring 1965 model; and the Platinum’s short lived Knock model.
My thanks to Mr. Niikura.

Wow. I can not do or think of anything else since I saw this picture!
A couple of them are missing their stickers though ;-)
They sure seem nice and inspiring especially these days, while I decided to get a Pilot Vanishing Point Matte Black. Do you have any recommendations on this?
Thanks, Kostas K and Zeynep, for your comments.
Nobody´s perfect, Kostas. Our friends of FP Geeks might be disappointed by those missing stickers.
About the "stealth" Capless, Zeynep, or about any modern Capless, two pieces of advice and a comment:
1. Follow the nib, not the pen. My best Capless nib is a FM (18 K gold), but it is only sold in Japan. In this pen, however, changing the nib is easier than ever. Check this links, please:

2. You might want to check the slim and lighter Decimo model and the twist-knob heavier Fermo, especially the first. For you, who claimed there are, and there should be, pens for women, a Decimo seems a better option. I really like it, actually.
3. About the matte black Capless, I have seen that its appealing finish is quite prone to chip off. That is particularly obvious on the contact point between clip and barrel. Somehow, this might be a pen to display rather than to use.
Thank you all for passing by and commenting.

Dear Bruno,
Thank you for your response. For some reason, I have to make my order from Goulet Pens. Here is the link but there is nothing indicating pens as Decimo or Fermo, of course I should be preferring the light one.

Do you think those are Fermo. I am quite unfamiliar with Capless models.
wow. this is some porn. espectaculares. I have one, bought from Japan a couple of years ago, but it's a very basic one. love it, though.
Gracias, Carmen, por su comentario. La pornografía estilográfica también está protegida por la Primera Enmienda...
Las Capless modernas suelen escribir muy bien y son muy cómodas de usar. Que sean más o menos atractivas es secundario.
Gracias por pasarse por estos lares.
