    Default Cross Pen identification

    I found this beautiful little Cross pen at an estate sale for $15 and I love it. It’s perfect for my little hands. It looks similar to the Townsend but not quite. Is it just an older version of the Townsend or is it something else entirely, and does anyone have a date range. It uses the Cross threaded converter.

    It’s 13.5 cm with cap

    And around 1cm wide

    Ink

    simple answer: any bar dip pen inks, Better answer:I'd just go on Goulet pens and buy a bunch of ink samples to try.
