In our humble opinion, the Cross Townsend has never fully gotten its due as a marvelous fountain pen. Not only does it have a classical elegance, these pens just write beautifully. Smooth and dependable. Our preowned pen is a green-marble design with a brass barrel foundation. It has a nice weight and resiliency not found in some of its more famous German peers. Our pen has light wear from use and a working converter. You will write a nice fine line with its 14k gold nib. For Cross brand aficionados, the logo in the clip has a cursive script. 15cm capped.
