Overview
Blue lacquer and gold-plated accents give the Pilot Capless fountain pen a classic contrast, with its retractable mechanism concealed inside the body.
It belongs to the retractable fountain pen series Pilot introduced in 1963, built around a nib that can be stored inside the body instead of under a separate cap. Polished lacquer covers a brass body.
A push of the button extends the 18k gold nib; another retracts it into the barrel, where an internal shutter closes over it. The pen accepts Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled ink and is presented in a gift box with a converter included.
Made in Japan, it measures 154 mm long. The barrel is 13 mm wide, and the pen weighs 43 g.
