Thank you for this review. I have had terrific luck with Cross fountain pens, both on their low and higher ends of the pricing spectrum. Looks like a terrific pen.
I have several Cross pens most from pre 200o’s when 14k gold nibs were common. I have one fine gold nib and the rest are mediums. I especially like the Cross Townsend with a Gold nib. But I also have a Cross Classic with a steel nib, a Cross Bailey and a Cross Bailey Light both with Medium nibs. May purchase a Cross Calais for it’s larger diameter. Thanks or the review.
It actually does not come with a converter, and I bought one later, original Cross converter and it does not fit! So I am very disappointed, I still have to follow up and check how I got the wrong one. I don't know if there is more than one size for Cross, but will find out. However, I keep refilling the cartridge and that works perfectly.

And this is on the lower end of the pricing range, so I look forward to my next Cross purchase.
Thanks for the review.Just purchased the satin versiom as my first proper fountain pen.Hopefully its the start of my hobby😅
I hope you enjoy it, this is truly one of my favourite pens.

They are lovely pens.
Hi , does this pen come with a cartridge converter ? I'm thinking about purchasing one , but I can't find any info about that anywhere.
