I can think of 2 options (there are probably more).
Have your friend choose a pen he likes the look of. Make the pen for him, then either:
(1) replace the nib with an italic/oblique nib, for example one of the ones that Meisternibs sells (1.1mm italic or 1.4mm italic)
or
(2) send the pen to somebody who will regrind the nib to your specifications, such as Michael Masuyama.
(A third option would be to learn how to regrind the nib yourself, but that might take longer than your friend wants to wait for his pen.)

He is into calligraphy and he is looking for a pen that looks like this. I can't for the life of me find a place that sells the part that holds the nib.

Buy one and part out the holder then make your pen and add the holder. Just a thought.

I'm probably going to have to go that route. I was hoping to could find a cheaper way of making it. Thanks for looking into it for me!
