Schaeffer Calligraphy pen

[Paul_LZ]

One of my favourites. I think that it is the easiest pen from my lot  when it comes to writing, in a sense that it "obeys" me: I look at the nib, think of the letter I want to write and the pen, in my hand, does what I want it to do. I use it to write titles in my diary and todo list, and the ink colour, red, in cartridges, is just the correct tone. 

 

And a complete kit, of three pens and three different size nibs plus a lot of cartridges in different ink colours, costs around 23€!!!

 

I am attaching a handwritten sample In English and in Arabic, and a photo of the pen.

 

Here's a link to the kit:

Yes, these can be great pens. Their predecessor, the No Nonsense, was made for several decades and is known for having nibs with great feeds.

[Paul_LZ]

Yes.

Just proves that cheaper pens can also be great writing instruments.

I love writing with it.

Is this a new/modern one?

 

One of the things that first really interested me in fountain pens was my mom having a set based on the No-Nonsense. IIRC, it had 4-5 different nibs/sections of different widths.

 

Sheaffer really knows how to make a great inexpensive pen.

I am not familiar with the pen's history, but it is a fine pen and worth looking into if one is keen about calligraphy

I love the older No Nonsense calligraphy pens- I have one from an old set that I put a regular Sheaffer nib section in.Then I have two of the regular No Nonsense fountain pens.
