I used a 1831 Schaeffer Mini with a 14k semi-flex fine nice to create some product tags in Copperplate. Does that count?

This pen originally a fountain pen but in my hand I feel like using many pens as did pens.
This is a new pen I have added to my pen drawer and it is a desk pen by Wahl Eversharp . So it is going to be another dip pen in my pen lot.
It is wring well after I fixed and re-sacked polished and clean. So this century old antique pen is having a new life now. :)

I again used this Metal dip pen holder with a Geo.W. Hughes Shoulder dip pen to practice my drills on Copperplate scripts.
The ink I used is my own home Made walnut ink " I named it as Thames River Ink "

Either it wasn't checked in the box at the bottom of the Manage Attachments box and inserted inline or it wasn't inserted inline into a post properly. You have to use it or you lose it after an hour. When you see it in your post as code it will have an attachment number and then appear as the image when you post your reply or post. Always check the Preview to see if it's there before you press post reply. If it's not in the right position you can copy the short line of code and move it somewhere else.

Your attachments are all viewable in your Settings (left hand column) and can be accessed and deleted there.

This is a beauty. Love this nib and very great nib with a light hand if not this nib on a wrong hand, will eat every strokes while it travel through all the lettering.
I love the feeling of all antique holders even some pens are very short in the hand. Very nice writing too Robalone!!!!

I used this Special Oblique Pen with Vintage Gillette's Victoria 303 Ef with Home made Walnut ink.
The writing style is my inspired SPENCERIAN at my developing stage. Well it is just the start of a long "rabbit hole Journey".

I am going to add a few writing done with these Vintage and Antique Victorian pens.
They are a bit delicate writers in to my feelings. Beautiful pens for the looks.

You have quite a range there, Cyril. Many of those shafts would be too slender for me. I have a few stouter ones that I use. I don't do calligraphy; I just write in my usual style with the different types of dip nibs. I enjoy it very much.

[Cyril]

You are right eachan , they are very slim. I like them too and they all write differently and specially on cursive writing.
Good pens to be on a collection and hope you are getting more and more involved with dip pen writing. Truly dip pen writing experience is very different than fountain pens.
I feel the ball point writing and fountain pen writing has much different. And the same way to look at fountain pen and dip pen writing has another experience.
