Authentic ModelsFeather Pen Set - An Assortment of Early Writing Instruments, Including Ink, Brass Nibs, a Wood Pen, and a Feather - Perfect for Calligraphy

Loved this but lost it at college lol

I purchased this for one of my college classes (we're doing a little thing for Halloween and I decided it would be fun to dress as a Hogwarts student). After reading the other reviews, I figured it was one of the better feather pen sets on the market, so I decided to buy it.I'm going to be honest - The set feels cheap to me. I'm no newbie to nib/quill pens, so I know what I'm talking about when I say that the nibs were of poor quality. One was even slightly bent/deformed at the tip, making it unusable.Now, regarding the feather "pen" itself. It basically comes with two parts - The feather, and a finger grip. The feather is inserted into one end of the finger grip, and a nib is meant to be inserted into the other. Here's where our problem lies. NONE of the nibs fit into the grip (and I've confirmed, yes, they ARE supposed to go in there). Lucky for me, I'm handy with tools, so I managed to (poorly) fit one of the nibs in using a pair of needlenose pliers, and I have no plans to remove it/change the nib since it was such a hassle.The kit also came with a small bottle of a dark red ink. Loved the color, but the ink was a bit thin (nothing a bit of evaporation can't fix). I still plan on using this kit for its intended use, but I would advise anyone looking for a good quality feather pen to look elsewhere.

Hello, My name is Miranda and I Bought this only a few days ago. I absolutely love this set, i read the reviews and I was worried that it was going to be in bad condition, but against my better judgement i bought it anyway. I was surprised, most of the reviews are correct. About only ONE Nib fitting into the feather. But I don't mind, it is extremely fun to write with, besides the feather and wooden pen being in.. fairly bad shape. I would still recommend this to others, but make sure they know that the product isn't that good of quality but still WORTH buying.Thank you for reading.

It's a nice quill for beginners like me. You can put the nibs on with pliers or just don't use the nib holder at all. It works that way for me. The bottle of ink is very small so I recommend buying another bottle. The pen is okay but you are re dipping it in ink after every word you write. The feather doesn't feel real and the stem of the quill is like plastic and easily scraped up as mine was when I first got it. Other than that its a fine quill for starters.

The feather only takes two nibs, all the rest fit in the wooden pen. The two nibs the feather takes have a hole in the back (furthest from the tip.) I am getting this set for my nephew who is writing his first fantasy novel. The box is sturdy and has a magnet closure. It is designed to house the pens and nibs for a long time. Good box, looks great, I paired it with some parchment paper for Christmas.

This set actually comes with everything shown. 6 different tips, 1 feather quill, 1 metal clip to make sure the quill's front doesn't break when not in use, 1 wooden pen with its own tip, though this one is colored, not birch. It comes with 7.5 ounces of ink, which is a ton considering one dip all the way to the hole inside the tip writes about 60-70 words. All it needs is a manual because some of the tips, I have no idea how to put on...

I just want to say that I've been ordering from Amazon for over 10 years now & this is the 1st time I've felt compelled to write a review.I had no problems with the delivery time per se. Firstly, I bought this as a gift for a friend but the plastic part of the cover was dented when I received the package even though it was in a padded envelope. For the sake of argument it could have been the courier. Upon opening the display lid I found what looked to be like a white mould growing on the black backing on which the pen rested and further more the color of the pen was not light brown as shown in the picture. It rather looked like that may have been the original color but someone tried to paint it over in black and missed a lot of spots in the process. So the black wooden pen is resting on a black background.The worst part is the feather - the feather looks dull, like a light fungus started growing. It seems organic and not plastic at least to add to the authentic look, but I had to wipe the thing off. Honestly, I'm from a country area and I could pluck a more healthy looking tail feather of a chicken in my yard. I expected a softer look to the feather. It seems like a plain pigeon feather, either way it's very dark. So the set is mostly black on black. I'm torn whether to even test the nibs as it's supposed to be a gift but I may have to toss it as the smell of the pakage is really old. The nibs seem to fit but the metal piece which covers the feather tip seems like an awkward fit to it.Trying to replace this might cost too much in shipping and I'm not in the mood to do battle to get back a few bucks. Either way I think I got the last one as the product is no longer available. Now I have to spend more time hunting for a gift. This was a waste of time and money. I just wish that merchants would be fair and responsible when dispatching products from their warehouse, in that if they realize it's been on the shelf for a while and it's white with fungus then have some integrity and don't sell it. One thing for sure, this merchant just lost a customer in me and the few people I know.

Excellent! My 8yr old son wanted to buy this with his own money. He thought it was awesome and has been practicing his cursive writing with it. Even my older 12 yr old son and myself have been using it also. Its fun and made very well. We had no issues with the ink...it is a quill, after all, and not a regular pen.

I liked this product, I only really use the wooden pen and the large nib, but they work quite well. I use them fairly regularly, and although it has taken me a while to figure out how to properly use a nib pen, I managed to get the hang of it and use the pen fairly often. The nib has held out through moderate use and I have not yet had to replace it. Also, the included ink is rather nice, it is red which was a surprise to me, and it worked with the pen just fine.For the price I paid, it worked as I expected.

Bought this as a gift. Really cute set for beginners, good show peice

This is a cool and awesome product if you into rustic looks... If the feather was more fluffy and longer then it would have been better

Very nice set

This set is so cute! Works really well.
