This is a simple post. Just a picture:

These are all the Pilot Capless (Vanishing Point) models in history (http://estilofilos.blogspot.jp/2012/09/family-portrait-iv.html), not counting color variations. The short lived Platinum Knock (http://estilofilos.blogspot.com/2010/08/knock.html) is also posing for the picture: bottom-left corner, black and golden pen.

Not all have the original stickers, though...

Cheers,

Iosepus

All of them are uninked to the best of my knowledge. But they are not mine... Some are really really hard to find--the Platinum Knock, for instance, or the urushi-finish model from 1964 (in reddish tones on the top row).
