Few days ago I came across this board but only tonight I had a bit of time to apply for membership.
I have only started collecting fountain pens earlier this year and I would like to learn how to repair them as well.
My favourite makes are Pelikan (both vintage and modern), Montblanc (which I cannot afford most of the time) and vintage Swan and their beautiful flexible nibs.
As to calligraphy or penmanship I am interested in Copperplate, Spencerian and few days ago I came across an old German script, which rose my interest, called Kurrent.
Thank you for accepting me as a member.
Looking forward to contribute.

Drop Ian at Cathedral Pens a message, he will point you in the right direction.

Welcome!
You will find the folks here at the FP Board really knowledgable and very friendly, and frankly, a much more learned audience willing to help you out. This "IS" the place to grow and to know about fountain pens!
Do you know my wife? She is Janet Takahashi, www.janettakahashi.com She is a master penman, and teaches calligraphy/pointed pen and various other scripts.
If there is something I can do for you, please let me know!
