Herlitz Calligraphy Fountain Pen Set with Writing Sample (5 Pieces)

Works well, comes with 2 cartridges and writes ok

Looks great, comfortable to hold, similar to rotring artpen in appearance and feel, can be stripped down completely for cleaning, very good value, great pen for just over £5. I bought this thinking for the price I couldn't go wrong but was surprised by how good this is, international standard cartridge size. Writes well although I would recommend using a wetter ink as it's sometimes a bit of a dry writer although I'm told you can put a drop of gum arabic in your ink to wet and improve flow, the only issue I've found is that it can seem a little scratchy at times although I'm sure it will smooth of with more use, don't notice any scratchiness with wetter ink though.

does what it says on the tin

I've used a number of calligraphy fountain pens over the years - For practice, rough layouts etc. I currently use an old Manuscript, a very old Platignum and a Lamy Joy. This is a surprisingly good pen, The nibs write well, not quite as well as the Lamy - but not far off. A real bargainat £8.48p for a pen and three nib units.

Good value.

Fantastic penIt flowed easily to start with, it didn't take much to get it going.It doesn't leak and it's very smooth.

Our 9 year old grandaughter found this pen very easy to use, making great progress.

I liked the choices of pen nib size. I can recapture calligraphy skills and write in greeting cards and memory book.
