This quill is handmade and measures approximately 16 inches long depending on the length of the feather. It has a handmade translucent decoration where you place your fingers to write as well as a puff in an accent color around the edges. The nibs are real and can actually be dipped in ink to write with as long as you treat the quill gently. Would make an excellent Christmas or Birthday gift for any fans of the boy wizard.(Note that we can not take requests from real calligraphers for different sized nibs. You will receive a random nib size that we currently have in stock.)
