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 "

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!!!!

Cyril thanks
Woo, lovely instrument. Excellent writing 👍🏻👍🏻 You've certainly got the flourishes on those caps sussed !
Always amazes me that people actually used these things probably daily , and may not have given it a second thought.
