Hi Glen,
Get a fountain pen kit that will take a bock 5 or 6 nib. Beaufort ink sells them. Use a kit from his mistral range and replace the standard nib to the calligraphy nib.

When choosing a calligraphy pen kit, consider the type of nib you prefer. There are many different styles of nibs available, such as italic, pointed, and broad-edge. Each style creates a unique type of line and suits different styles of calligraphy.
You can also fit calligraphy nibs to an existing pen such as an Omeg by using a nib adapter or a converter. These tools allow you to change the nib on your pen, giving you greater flexibility in your calligraphy work.

As above, I have just swapped out a nib from a #5 pen kit with a Bock italic from Beaufort works well!!

That’s a great idea Marsha! Thanks for sharing
