PILOT PARALLEL PENS w/ Parallel Plate Nibs.
Hard to find, much sought after, these pens are not
widely distributed in the US.
This pen is extremely smooth writing, offering crisp
edges and sharp hairlines. Nib point consists of two
parallel metal plates and allows for lettering in two
sizes. Use the .5mm edge for sharp, monoline writing
or use the broad edge for calligraphic writing. You can
also produce color-blended letters by touching ink
from one pen to a second pen loaded with another
color. Available in four sizes, includes one red and one
black cartridge and a bladder/converter.

Lamy Calligraphy Pen.
These calligraphy fountain pens from Germany
have more class than the rest. And they are a joy to
use. They are designed for both function and form.
The writing end has two facets that fit your fingers.
All have a window to check for low ink level. The
ink flows well.
The clear one is my favorite with its see-through
design and chrome accents. I love
having a modern Bauhaus design to
create renaissance and medieval letters!
The satin gray is more formal.
The black long-staff pen comes with
red accents.
