 Cross Townsend, Black Lacquer rolling ball penApr 01, 2011
By Douglass Dreibelbis
This is exactly what I hoped it would beCross Townsend, Black Lacquer, Selectip Rolling Ball Pen, with 23 Karat Gold Plated Appointments (575).
It's a pen that's heavier than most...an attribute that I wanted. It's a little wider in diameter than many...another attribute that I wanted. In addition, I wanted a cap that would solidly click on to the lower portion when configured for writing...like this one does. I have a Cross Apogee which does NOT do that. Since the balance of the pen depends on the cap being attached when in writing mode, the solid lock of the Townsend is highly desirable. The Apogee cap sometimes comes loose when writing.
The ordering process was easy on Amazon and the delivery was much faster than I'd expected.
Cross rolling ball pens all seem to come with a black ink refill. I prefer blue, so I always end up swapping out the refill right after I get the pen.

The nicest Cross pen I've ever had. This one is a very big and heavy pen. (Larger than most). Great for your home or office. It looks and feels great and it writes excellent.

 Nice pen, poor "lifetime" warrantyMar 29, 2011
By Mark
I have owned several Cross pens since graduating from high school in 1968. I have owned this Townsend pen for many years and paid about $100. The refills are expensive but that comes with the territory. However, the friction fit cap is problematic. There is a nylon or plastic liner in the cap which fails to grasp the pen over time. I have had it replaced once, and now need to do it again. Good news is that Cross offers a "free lifetime" repair warranty. The bad news is that Cross charges $10 "handling" charge for this free service, after the customer pays to ship it back to them. Free ain't what it used to be. Sorry, Cross, but I would not recommend the Townsend series in any flavor.
Great Pen, But....Jan 02, 2010
By M. K. West
This type of pen (Cross Selectip) was one of things our daughter had requested for Christmas. We ordered it and, at first sight, she loved it. The problem that has developed is its weight. She was exposed to Lyme a number of years ago and the pen is too heavy for her to easily use. Not the pen's fault, mine for not noting the description included the term heavy.
