Pick your champion. These are my three favorite pens below a small writing sample. Which do you like the most?
The top one is a Waterman 52 with a flexible italic nib. This particular pen was purchased in 1899 and is 121 years old!
The middle pen is a new Pilot Custom 912 with FA nib and hand modified, the nib was ground to a needlepoint and extra flex was added.
The last one is a franken pen I built. It has a flexible nib from another Waterman 52, this one made in 1910 and has an extra fine point. I added to the body of a modern TWSBI Diamond replacing both the nib and the feed. I am using an ebonite feed so it has no trouble keeping up.

You will need it. Calligraphy takes a while to perfect. But its so rewarding imo.
