Cross Townsend Year of the Pig special edition Fountain Pen, part of the Chinese Zodiac series.

2019 is the Year of the Pig, and Cross have produced a stunning Townsend Fountain Pen to commemorate it. The brass barrel is finished in hand-polished dark red lacquer with deep-etched engravings and 23ct gold-plated inlays and appointments. Fitted with a 18ct solid gold nib available in fine and medium.

The Townsend is one of the classic Cross pen designs. Inspired by the lines of 1930s Art Deco, but with an elegant American twist, the Townsend can be distinguished from its rivals by its iconic double-banded cap and the lifetime of smooth, effortless writing that it will deliver.

Dimensions: 150mm long capped, 160mm long posted, 15mm diameter, weighs 36g.

The Townsend Year of the Pig pen is presented in a luxury Cross gift box, complete with warranty and information card, and supplied with two black ink cartridges. It will also take the Cross converter, available separately. Also includes a separately-boxed black and gold Chinese character-themed acrylic pen stand.
