Your capless is a relatively short lived model from 1973. It has already the new shape but is still made of aluminium.
do you know the site of Carmen Rivera? It's fantastic and there is the whole history of all capless models documented:

Hello Christof,
Thank you for happily passing half an hour of my time, looking at the Carmen Rivera website.
So much to learn, so many pens to look at.
The postman has just been, so here's my augmented collection of retractable pens

Stypen Up
Stipula Da Vinci
Lamy Dialog 3
Piedimonte GB 1 Ebonite & copper
Pilot VP
Montblanc 1912
Please does anybody know of a convertor to fit the Stypen Up? I have tried a short convertor from a Kaweco Sport, which fits for length but doesn't seal - it rattles around inside the pen.
And here's a mini collection of Pens that Need to be Polished

Namisu Nova copper
Milim Pro bronze
Kaweco Brass sport
Piedimonte GB 1 Ebonite & copper
Now another mini collection of just four Pens whose cap doesn't cover the section.

Thank you Catbert.
I was going to look at the F-C pens at the San Francisco Pen Show later this month. I have a feeling that is going to be a slightly expensive day.
The design of the Model 25 intrigues me but I think it's one I'd have to try before buying.
Another short-cap model:
Namisu Orion

Gosh, Catbert, your knowledge is very wide and deep.
Thank you.
Sadly it's just a case of your mini collection intersecting my interest in technical pens or pens that resemble them.
Another example, new to me: Pelikan th.INK
mini collection of pocket pens:
Pilot M90
Sheaffer's Tuckaway
Kaweco Sport
Parker Duofold
Waterman's 52V
Pilot Elite

It's a quiet afternoon in Chester, so here's an easy quiz for you.
What connects this mini collection?

Well, it's either too hard for you all, but I don't believe that, or too easy.
They all bear a number representing a height.
Mont Blanc 4810 Metres
Platinum Mount Fuji 3776 Metres
Colorado Pen Co 5280 Height of Denver in feet
Nice. I had no idea what the pens even were lol
