Cross Townsend Medalist

Cross Townsend Medalist

Color: Chrome
Material: Chrome over Brass

Filler: Cartridge/Converter
Date c. c. 1998

Nib: XF 14K
Working? Yes

I am slightly less fond of the bright chrome; it seems a little brash. I don’t know why; just the deep, rich black, red & brown lacquers seem so much more elegant. Still, like all my Townsends, this is a superb instrument.

Flameworked Glass Pens

NB: These craftsmen make magnificent glass dip pens. They are pricey, but flawless in their crafting and performance. Truly an heirloom quality glass pen. Well worth the price.
