Are there any calligrapher's here?

I'm looking for recommendations for an adult beginner's set with classic technique instruction book, quality pen, nibs and ink (not brush pens), and practice papers all-inclusive in the set. In the price range of $50 or less.

There are just too many options w/reviews all over the place when searching and would prefer a tried-and-true recommendation from anyone who has purchased, used or given a set as a gift.

@CherNohio
When I was in my early teens, Parker produced such a kit and it was excellent.
Maybe worth a search.

@CherNohio @stueytheround Don't forget paper! I am going to learn how to do hand lettering myself, and I bought a pad of Mixed Media paper.

and Yes, I bought a handle and some nibs and dip ink. I bought the Speedball set that has a handle, 3 nibs, ink, and nib cleaner. I think it was like $13? $15? On sale.

And a pencil box to put everything in. :)

@CherNohio sorry, thought it had three nibs, it only has one. But any other nibs you get will fit into that handle.
