**Paul-H** · April 19th, 2019, 01:03 AM

Hi all,

Anyone know what the pen is that Donald Trump is often shown using to sign documents, other than it's black and writes like a paintbrush, anyone know what make it is.

Trump is supposed to have said its a custom made Sharpie but Cross also claim they make all the Presedential pens, including Trumps .

Anyone know for sure what he is using.

Thanks

Paul

Are Cross and Sharpie owned by the same company as although the article linked claims its a sharpie it looks like a Cross and nothing Sharpie has ever done, Cross claim its one of their pens, so I wonder if Sharpie took a cross roller ball and stuck one of their felt tips in it.

The Business Insider piece said it's a custom Sharpie, which would explain the unique looks.

According to this, Cross pens were ordered but never used: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-putin-scandal
