Very interesting selection of nibs - most with their own reserve which you can use, or not, as you wish. Good value for money

A useful set for those wanting to try their handwriting skills with calligraphy. The dip pen was the reason for the purchase for me - I have several different inks which are not suitable for use in fountain pens, and the Feather Quill Pen allows the use of these beautiful inks to great effect.

There is no real instructions on how to use it however, and the bottles are a little tough to open. But as a gift its worth buying.

The set is okay as a fancy ornamental gift. I found actual writing with it impossible until I changed the nib. The original nib tines were out of line. I'm not giving it the thumb's down entirely as its a nice set, but in my case I needed to replace the nib for my purposes and ditch the ink.

I've seen other people buy calligraphy sets for quite a lot of money in my time, but this one is great. It might not help you write in serious side-font italics. But it does write like a fountain Quill Pen. In fact, for myself, it writes like an old favourite that I'd broken some years ago and have never been able to replace.
