It is no good; I have really tried. My handwriting is appalling, think drunken chicken scratchings, with both of the two Pelikan M800 F and EF nibs that I have available.
Therefore, I would be delighted if anyone has an M800 B or BB nib they would be willing to trade for either my F or XF.
Both of my two nibs have been used but certainly not abused and are the standard 18k M800 two tone rascals.

Many thanks, please PM if interested.

Update on what is still available
Joy and rapture!!! F nib found a new home.
EF nib now feeling lonely and in urgent need of a friendly home. Any interest on this one???

I will bump and say that Hilsedwards does not have "chicken scratch" handwriting. Granted, it takes some getting used to, but it is a rather stylized font, not "chicken scratch" and certainly not drunken. Tipsy on sloe gin, perhaps, but not soppy.
