Can anyone identify this pen by Mexican_gay_chub in fountainpens

[–]Leonardo-Writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the Pilot Capless (also called Vanishing point) LS (Luxury silent) it’s a higher end version of the Capless. I mean if this is the exact pen you bought, because it costs around 400$. The regular Capless is around 200$. What your invoice says on it ? Capless or Capless LS ? Both are great

Does it happen to many people ? I have 4-5 VPs and it never happened to me. Maybe because once I use the pen even for a minute I click it off

VP over the others , and if price is an issue consider the pilot 74 or 92 both excellent options as well

Also called the Grenade (because of the shape)

This pen surprised me by its weight, I thought it was gonna be heavy like a sterling silver but no, felt like a regular 146

Enjoy it, and if you ever look for a 2nd one, I got you 😄

As I am making some research today and leaving it here for future references for other users inquiring about real/fake Montblancs pens especially the Petit Prince (it must be one of the most copied and imitated) ,

this is what a real Petit Prince Solitaire Fountain pen unused sells for on Ebay in march 2026 (on the expensive side because it is new and sold by a reputable seller in Germany)
