How about a Lamy Safari, Vista or Al-Star fitted with one of their
calligraphy nibs? They come in 1.1 or 1.5 mm widths (1.9s are available,
but scarce, I'm told). They certainly won't break the bank - The MSRP of an
Al-Star is less than $40, and they're often found for less than $30. An
italic nib is around $12.00.

Please don't anybody take this the wrong way.
I'm interested in getting a fountain pen for Italic Handwriting or everyday
writing and I am not a member of the nouveau riche.
Nor am I interested in putting more money into a pen than a small car useta
cost.
So, are there viable options or am I stuck with a Manuscript Pen, which
requires a lot of downward pressure to make a stroke, or a 1mm Pilot
Parallel Pen which is a lot better feeling in the hand but overlarge for
correspondence?
As a last resort, I could always pull up my word processor and then print
the result, but that goes against the grain for a calligrapher or penmanship
artist.
