Assistance Please
Hello all, I am in the market for a decent FP that I can get line variations with... Maybe a Pelikan? I've started out with Lamy's and really like them. Any suggestions (and definately pics) are welcome. Thanks!

Nick if you want to try one to see if you like it, and I know you like lamy, they make a Calligraphy pen.

Or you can get a nice Pelikan with customised italic nib from nibmeisters like Richard Binder.
An old writing sample of my M805. I think I should have ordered a fine cursive italic and not an extra fine one. The lines look thin here.

If you have the Lamy Safari or Al-Star you can switch the nib to a 1.1 italic and if you are looking for variations that nib will certainly do the trick.
About 10 dollars for the nib.
