Oblique Calligraphy pen flange source?

[Kdoc87]

I have searched the forums to no avail and have been wondering if anyone knew of a source of the brass nib holders for oblique calligraphy pens such as the one on this:

I hope I posted this in the right category, and any feedback would be great! Thanks.

Those are made with bailing pliers.

I don't think there is anywhere to buy the flanges ready made. They are fairly easy though. This is the video I learned from.

You can use regular pliers, but it can be tricky to get the shape just right. If you decide to do more, he recently started selling a couple of pairs of pliers that work extemely well. Tey look like like regular bailing pliers and duckbill pliers, but they have been modified slightly for making flanges. I just recieved mine a coupke of weeks ago, and I love them.

Good luck.
