Is there anyone in Australia, that the members know of, who sells Dip pen or calligraphy pen kits. They are available in the USA but cannot find them in Australia.

Regards

Yeah I haven't seen any either. I was hoping to win some in the IAP Birthday Bash from Lou Metcalf, but missed out :(

Terry, I have been looking for those as well. All I have found so far is a complete calligraphy kit in one of the $2 shops that has a pen and about 3 or 4 screw in pen knibs. Haven't done anything with it so far.

Can put up a picture of it if you want.

Is this what you were after?

I bought 100 and still haven't used one.

I'll let a few go for 40 cents each plus postage.

Is that just the inserts, or do you have the nibs as well?

Inserts only. From memory my wife pays $3-10 each for the nibs, she is not home at the moment to check with.

10.

Yes, but I want to keep some for myself when I get around to turning some holders for them. You can have 10 for $5.50 including postage.

Anyone interested in in nibs, holders etc, my wife recommends Wills Quills (http://www.willsquills.com.au/Main3rdLine2.html) in Sydney.

I was only bulking out the package to make use of the allowable maximum weight. Ten nib inserts packed in bubble wrap looked a bit lonely in those envelopes.:D
