Description from Nathaniel

Cross Townsend fountain pens are among the most overlooked luxury pens on the market. We don't understand why. Cross Townsend pens have a stately look. They are as dependable as any pen on the market, and they write fantastically well. This chrome plated model is an excellent example. Made in the USA, it comes complete with a proprietary Cross converter. No dents or significant damage. Only light wear from use. You will write a nice, smooth fine line with its gold-plated steel nib. The nib is marked medium, but it seems more fine to us. It has a teeny bit of bounce for some line variation of is are gentle with it. 15cm capped.
