And of course the light tortoise is my favourite :-)
Thanks! It really is such a marvellous collection.
I managed to get my hands on a Capless from 1964. Now I have a mini collection of 4:
Pilot Capless 1964, 1975, 1994 and 2005

And....is this still a mini collection??
Nah....I think you meant near compete (edit - meant to type 'complete') there.
While I am here an accidental mini collection of sterling pens.

"Accidental"? I wish I had such lucky accidents!

just got a new one...
...which fits perfectly to the existing mini collection
Four pens from a scarce set of pens by Pilot from 1980-90s. I have a sneaking suspicion that my mustard orange pen is the same as shown in the second picture.
The second pic of 13 pens is from Fountain Pens of the World by Andy Lambrou.

You really need a matt black Deccan pen in that set :-) A really nice mini-collection of minimalist elegance.
Mini-max collection

All with stub nibs.
It's interesting how different makers' versions on a black and orange theme differ.
Any suggestions for others to match?

Grid pattern ballpoint pens, left to right:
Inoxcrom Sirocco Imperial, Parker 75 Cisele, Unknown like Cap-O-Matic by fisher-Space, Everlast
As far as I know, there are other Parker pens with cisele/grid pattern: Classic, Sonnet and Insignia; also I have seen online an Chromatic multipen in the same pattern like the other 2 Cap-O-Matic and Everlast, and Aurora Ipsilon Quadra. I am curious to find other pens in the same grid pattern.
The Cap-O-Matic and Everlast (also Chromatic) looks like the pens are made by the same maker and commissioned to different companies, and both pens are using A2 refills. The pattern run in spiral from top to bottom, with vertical straight lines.
In another place, there are threads for red pens, blue pens and green pens.
So here are some of mine.

Now if someone can do indigo and violet, we'll have a rainbow.
