I know there are calligraphy nibs made to retrofit standard FP kits, but I don't know how many different sizes are available. Check AS, BTW or CSUSA. I have not seen a pen kit to build a Calligraphy nibholder from scratch. It may be that you could utilize the guts from an off-the-shelf nibholder, the same as many of us do with Pentel pencil guts. Out of my league on this one, though.

You can have a professional modify any nib into a variety of shapes and sizes. Check out www.nibs.com
You can buy dip pen kits from my ad here. http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=32430 Most art supply stores carry additional Speedball nibs which can easily be swapped out.

I bought a friend of mine a calligraphy set from michaels. My daughter works there and after inspecting one of the kits I found the thread pattern fit the round top european fountain pens that Berea makes. I believe they are made by Manuscript brand. He made a round top european with desert ironwood burl and screwed on one of the manuscript nibs and viola! he had a calligraphy pen.
