CRETACOLOR · CALLIGRAPHY 105 runs along the pen, so the same holder can be asked for by name.

The holder full length. CRETACOLOR · CALLIGRAPHY 105 is printed along the barrel, with the chrome ferrule at the writing end.
Description
A holder is the part of a dip pen nobody thinks about until they have used a bad one. This is a straight holder from Cretacolor, the Austrian house, printed along the barrel with CRETACOLOR · CALLIGRAPHY 105 — the model number is on the pen itself, which makes it easy to ask for the same one again.
The barrel is finished in a white and grey marbled pattern with a chrome ferrule at the writing end. That ferrule is the working part: it grips the nib squarely and holds it there, which is what a cheap plastic collar stops doing after a few changes. A nib that sits slightly crooked writes a stroke that is thick on one side and thin on the other, and no amount of practice fixes it.
Our photographs show it with a broad-edge nib fitted, complete with the small brass reservoir clipped over the top — the arrangement used for round hand and italic lettering, where the reservoir holds a little ink against the underside of the nib. The listing itself is for the holder, so if whether a nib ships with it decides your purchase, ask us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will check the stock in hand rather than guess from a photograph.
It takes ordinary dip nibs, which are inexpensive and sold loose. That is the sensible way to own a dip pen at this level: one good holder that lasts for years, and nibs replaced as they wear. The alternative — a cheap holder bundled with nibs — usually means replacing the whole thing when the collar goes slack.
Ink is not included. Bottled calligraphy ink is what these are made for, and a broad-edge nib with a reservoir will hold enough for a full line before it needs recharging.

FAQs
Does the Cretacolor Calligraphy 105 come with a nib?
Our photographs show it with a broad-edge nib and brass reservoir fitted, but the listing is for the holder. If a supplied nib decides your purchase, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will check what the stock in hand actually includes rather than guess.
Why does a good holder matter if the nib does the writing?
Because the holder has to keep the nib square. The chrome ferrule on the Calligraphy 105 grips it evenly, while a worn plastic collar lets the nib sit slightly crooked — and a crooked nib writes a stroke thick on one side and thin on the other no matter how well you hold the pen.
What is the small brass piece on the nib in the photograph?
A reservoir. It clips over the nib and holds a little ink against the underside, so a broad-edge nib can carry a full line instead of running dry mid-word. It is standard on round hand nibs and is removed for cleaning.
Is this holder straight or oblique?
Straight — the nib sits in line with the barrel. That suits broad-edge lettering such as italic and round hand, and works the same for a left hand as a right. Our oblique holders are the ones to choose for pointed-pen scripts written on a steep slant.
Which nibs fit the Calligraphy 105?
Ordinary dip nibs of the usual shank size, which is what most stationers sell loose. A wider nib may need a firmer push into the ferrule, but nothing needs modifying — the collar is metal rather than moulded plastic.
Is Rs. 1,500 worth paying for a holder?
It depends on how much you write. A metal-ferruled holder from a European house outlasts a great many cheap ones, so for regular work it costs less over time. If you are still finding out whether calligraphy suits you, our Rs. 75 oblique holder or a Rs. 525 holder-and-nibs set is the sensible place to start.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Cretacolor Calligraphy 105 Holder in Pakistan?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and many other cities.
How fast is delivery in Pakistan?
Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch, including whether a nib is fitted to current stock. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities.
