Keep in mind calligraphy is often done with India Ink because it is totally opaque and I think all fountain pen inks are transparent to some degree. India Ink is notorious for gumming up fountain pens and is best used as a dip pen. BTDT.

No longer confused....
Looking for some #5 calligraphy and regular style nibs for the virage fountain pens for myself. Looking for inexpensive but quality nibs, extra fine to broad. My google searches keep coming up with dip nibs. Exotic Blanks :: Pen Kits :: Pen Kits (By Pen Kit Name) :: Virage Kits (All) :: Virage Fountain Pen - Chrome

Might want to clarify better as to something very specific you are looking for. Else you will get a flood of garbage that does you no good. I.e. What type of calligraphy nib are you looking for.

Calligraphy nibs are often in sizes that is not listed as "#5".

I've seen the term "calligraphy" used to mean two quite different styles of penmanship -- one of which I'd call "italic", the other "Spenserian" (or "copperplate").

The nibs are completely different, of course.
