Hi Gave,
i haven't updated the buy/sell on here but i sell the larger size for £12.99 delivered so they will be £11.99 on here. Prices went up to me a few weeks ago.
I took them off a website a have where i sell a few blanks as i sell more nibs to pen customers and pen owners, than i do to pen makers, so i only list them on a pen website now.
I can probably do it for £51 delivered in either polished steel, two tone steel which is gold plated, and solid plated gold. Depends what will suit your pen blank. That would be first classpost, recorded would be at cost if you wanted it.
If your customer has just said Italic, can i suggest either stub italic or cursive crisp italic. The stub is more rounded and will write easier because of the more rounded edges but the cursive crisp will give more line variation and effectively write more italic, but it will be a bit scratchier.
Regards
Pete
Don't overlook Pelikan though as they are cheaper
