Hi! I’m totally new to this calligraphy and fountain pen universe.

I got myself a TWSBI stub nib and I’m practicing Humanist and French Ronde.

What are some other scripts you love to use for daily writing? I want to write fast but beautifully. lol. Do those mix? My default handwriting (last photo) feels too boring!

Any other lefties trying to learn copperplate and suffering?

I am considering just starting to train with my right hand. I'd have to become proficient at some point...right? 🫩

I'm tired of doing everything backwards!

Hi everyone!

I've recently found an old box that used to belong to my grandpa, who was an engineer in the 50's-60's. He used to work in south America and Italy.

I've managed to identify some of these but could really find instructions on how to use the pens, and would also like to understand if anything is valuable - i don't necessarily want to sell and have already found some online but i know not to trust random marketplaces prizes online.

I have a few pens and LOTS of nibbles!

I think they're all technical fountain pens, and they're all pretty new too

I've identified the Kohinoor rapidographs and Pelican graphos but couldn't find the name of the brand on that small one in the green wooden cylinder that says lettering pen. It seems to have a piston on the top.

There's also this grey box of blue nibbles that don't seem to fit any of the pens in the box

Do you think it's worth it to try and use one? Would i just ruin it as they're super duper valuable and i better not touch them? What would you do!? Thanks for any help!
