I'm selling a gently used set. No box, but it has the booklet, two nib units (one is in the pen) and some blotting paper.
Very nice condition.
Asking $65 shipped to US. Paypal please.

Thought these came with 3 nibs? One flex, one italic, and one medium.

guess there are some that have 2 italics and some that have 1 italic, one flex, and one medium nib. Lisa thanks for clarifying that you got these used.
The Visconti Rembrandt calligraphy set is like getting three fountain pens in one. The Rembrandt is made from variegated resin and each pen is made unique through subtle marbling of color, a replication of Rembrandt’s painting technique ‘Chiaroscuro’. It’s available in a choice of four colors: black, blue, ivory and red. Each set includes 3 German-made palladium plated nib sections: an extra-fine, highly elastic nib for English Script, a firm, squared 1.5 mm stub nib for Italic or Gothic Script, and a medium-fine nib for contemporary writing. Also included is a bottle of Visconti black ink, 2 magnetic pen holders to keep your nibs wet in-between writing, the Visconti calligraphy booklet, Visconti blotting paper, and 3 converters.

There seems to be two versions of the calligraphy set, though I've only seen the two pen set for sale. One had three nibs; XF Flex, 1.5mm Stub and a Medium. The other had two italic nibs; 0.5mm Stub and 1.5mm Stub.

Regardless, lisantica is offering the two pen set for a helluva price considering the MSRP of the two pen set is $295 and street prices around $155.

Yep said it was a good deal. I am trying to find the set with the flex nib and that is why I am asking the questions.

Thanks all for the vote of confidence.
Satisfaction guaranteed or return for a full refund. This might be the 1.5 and XF. I know one is stubby and writes nice and flexy.

It looks like the one I got from GoldSpot
2 nibs

0.5 and a 1.5

My guess that's exactly what Lisa is selling as it appears to be much more common in the USA for some reason
