Cross Townsend Black

Cross Townsend

Color: Black
Material: Black Lacquer

Filler: Cartridge/Converter
Date c. c. 1995

Nib: M 14K / B 14K
Working? Yes

(B nib shown) Both of these are fantastic! In fact, all my Cross Townsends are great writers, smooth and elegant. They are big and weighty, but I like a pen with a substantial feel. They work beautifully posted (cap posts with a very satisfying ‘snap’), or unposted is one prefers a lighter pen. The M was one of the first new, top-end pens I ever got, in fact. It took me through much of my undergrad career, and once I started collecting seriously, it got siblings very quickly.
