Visconti has come up with a couple. Their Rembrandt has a magnetic system, while the Homo sapiens uses a really cool bayonet type fixture.
"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
DuPont has a slip cap that clicks on, probably some kind of spring and detent.
There are also pens like Lamy 2000 and Pilot Capless which nibs retract into the body of the pens.
I have a Monteverde that is magnetic.
If they're all screw or click on, after 125 years I imagine there's a reason.

In the early twentieth century Mabie Todd used a kind of bayonet fitting for ring top pens. This was because the cone or slip caps of the day were not secure hanging on a chain or a ribbon.
I've worked the V HS bayonet cap in person. It's cool!
