Three items I already owned but like them so they will get used (scabiosa ink, Ahab, and Brause calligraphy set (but nibs do wear out!)

Fu2x818I'm curious about the "Mr. Pen broad italic oblique." Is that an Italix? Or a Mr. Pen branded pen? Any chance of a pic?

writerstephenIt may be an Italix (searched on Mr. Pen since that is what the box said) but I do recall seeing Italix in the description when I looked it up (I was unfamiliar with the brand.) Apparently it goes for around $50 and it is a nice hefty feeling pen. I will post a picture later (also haven't inked it up yet)

writerstephenThis is an Italix Captain's Commission in burgundy with a right handed broad italic nib.

I think I will need to play around with it a bit to find the right ink combo. I read they tended to write a bit "wet" but it seems a bit dry to me.

Fu2x818Indeed you probably will, but it is a beautiful pen on which to play around! Congrats.
