I wore my old calligraphy pen out and was delighted when I found a replscement that I was familiar with. Even better was the improved window in the barrel that lets me know when I am getting low on ink. Just what I needed.

I purchased this starter kit for addressing wedding invitations. It worked out pretty well. I used The Calligrapher's Bible (by David Harris) for instruction.

Overall, the pen was exactly what I needed. Nothing broke or had any problems, even after writing hundreds and hundreds of addresses. I did go through quite a few of the black cartridges; plan to order black refill cartridges if you're intending to use black and do much lettering. :)

I notice one comment mentioned the hole being uncomfortable--it was a little uncomfortable for me, too, but I did like the convenience of being able to see how much ink remained. When my hand got sore, I just took a break from writing and picked it up again later. If you're thinking about buying this set for a lot of writing that must be done all at once, you may want to look for something a little more comfortable. It wasn't bad, though.

I like the newer style of the Sheaffer nib connection to the barrel of the pen. I am dissappointed that they won't work with my old nibs.
