Manuscript Leonardt Copperplate and Shadow Dip Pen and Nibs Set

This set includes a standard nib holder, a decorative nib storage tin, and five nibs suited to Copperplate and Shadow writing styles.

Manuscript dip pens allow you to create beautiful writing and decorative designs, working in a wide range of media in addition to bottled ink. For example, Chinese stick ink, water colours, acrylics and gouache, which would clog up a fountain pen.

Each set contains a selection od nibs, which vary in size and style and meet specific requirements. A compact nib casket is provided to keep nibs safe when not in use.

Note: New dip pen nibs come coated with a protective oil residue which should be removed. To remove the residue, gently scrub the nib with toothpaste, rubbing alcohol, or warm water and dish soap. Alternatively, the oil residue can be burned off with a lighter, but please be careful when doing so!
