I'm entirely belayed in this, but the pen is a Lamy Joy with a 1.1 mm calligraphic (italic) nib. The precise model can be found on Amazon here, though there's also a 1.3 mm nibbed model, a model with an aluminum cap instead of a plastic cap, and a box set that comes with both nibs.
Hope that's helpful!
If you're interested in something a bit more conventional in terms of the line it puts down, I'm currently using a Lamy Vista. An example of my work with it -- is here.
You can keep practicing cursive, and you need to practice 15 minutes a day. There are quite a few free workbook things on the web, albeit mostly aimed an children, and quite a few YouTube videos. Google for "cursive writing workbooks" or search for "cursive writing" on YouTube.
You can also learn italic handwriting. Italic is also fast and beautiful to look at. This book is out of print but you should be able to find a used copy. If anyone knows of an online copy please post the link!
