Looking for a quill & ink set

Deadbeat · 19 Aug 2011 at 11:31

A bit obscure, I know, but wondered if anyone had any good recommendations? I don't want one of those tacky novelty sets, just a decent quality feather quill pen and a couple of inks, maybe some good quality paper included.

You might be able to find something here. Their store's is quite good; I get my fountain pen ink from there.

Got my bottle of Noodler's Dark Matter there before they ran out a couple of months back.

Pelikan M600 + Noodler's = All you ever need.

Yeah it's annoying that they run out sometimes! But I love their selection. I've got a really nice Cross fountain pen, and some Sailor Jentle Black ink which is excellent.

That's a very nice site, but no quill pens, unfortunately. Still, a great selection - might keep that one in mind for the future.

@chaosdestro0: it's a gift, actually, but I wouldn't mind one myself

There is one quill and ink set but it's not wonderful, about £10

Just found this - http://www.jherbin.com/calligraphy_supplies.shtml
Only one quill but might do the job.

For other writing supplies I've used and recommend - http://www.mappamundi.co.uk/
There's no quills unfortunately but I've bought inks and nibs from them in the past.

Quills are not an easy thing to find from the look of it!
