[With Box] CROSS C-Series Carbon Black M/18K

Thank you for viewing.

This item is a CROSS C-Series Carbon Black M/18K.
This is a discontinued model from the American fountain pen brand Cross, and it is in very good condition, with a full set of accessories including the original box.

The C-Series was a bold creation by Cross, inspired by car design.
As it is a discontinued model, it is quite difficult to obtain.
This model is Carbon Black, and compared to the standard model, it is a higher-end model with dot-like irregularities reminiscent of the leather used in luxury car interiors.
The metal body with these dots is durable and has a substantial feel, and also provides a non-slip effect.
The spring-loaded clip, which is not found on other Cross fountain pens, also represents an industrial design aesthetic.
The use of hard rubber for the grip was also innovative at the time. There are some minor scratches as shown in the photos.
The nib is a small 18K nib. Please note that there is some staining from red ink.

It is a converter/cartridge type.
A separate, genuine Cross converter is also included.
Also included as accessories are the box and cartridge ink.
