CrossThe Cross Townsend 10K Rolled Gold fountain pen marries traditional design with modern reliability. Revered for its refined silhouette and subtly luxurious finish, the pen is finished with a layer of 10-karat rolled gold that offers the glow of solid gold with improved durability and affordability. The Townsend’s balanced weight and tapered profile make it comfortable for extended writing sessions, while attention to detail ensures it remains a tasteful statement piece on any desk.
Finished in lustrous 10K rolled gold, this Townsend model features classic Cross accents: a streamlined cap, engraved center band, and the signature Cross clip. The warm gold finish resists tarnish with regular care and polishes to maintain its sheen. Subtle engravings and precise component fitment highlight the pen’s premium build quality without appearing ostentatious—ideal for both executive and everyday use.
The Townsend fountain pen typically ships with a finely tuned stainless steel or gold-plated nib (depending on edition) that delivers a smooth, consistent ink flow. The nib is designed for predictable start-up and reliable performance across common ink types. Available nib sizes accommodate a range of handwriting styles—from extra-fine for precise scripts to broad for expressive strokes—making the pen versatile for correspondence, journaling, and signatures.
The Cross Townsend often uses a cartridge/converter filling system for convenience. Standard international cartridges fit the barrel, and a refillable converter allows use of bottled ink for greater color choice and longevity. Maintenance is simple: flush the feed periodically with lukewarm water when changing inks or if the pen sits unused for long periods. Minor polishing with a soft cloth preserves the rolled gold finish.
Store the Townsend capped when not in use to maintain nib moisture and prevent dust accumulation. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the rolled gold surface and use only gentle, non-abrasive cloths. For long-term storage, clean the pen and keep it dry to protect internal components and the finish.
The Cross Townsend 10K Rolled Gold fountain pen is a refined writing instrument that blends heritage styling with practical performance—an enduring choice for anyone who values the art of handwriting. Whether purchased for everyday use or preserved as part of a collection, it offers tangible quality and timeless appeal.
