Filling System Takes Cross cartridges and the Cross screw-in converter, type 8756. A converter is installed in the pen. (Please note that there are different converters for different Cross models, and the 8756 one is tough to find, so don't lose it! The screw-in type fits Torero, Affinity, Sauvage, C-Series, Sentiment, Century II, Apogee, Verve and ATX models.)
Color Medalist - this is a common Cross designation, and refers to the silver colored body with gold-plated trim. Here, the silver portions have a barleycorn design and are chrome plated. The clip, finials, cap band, and section trim are all gold-plated.
Nib MEDIUM 18K nib. The nib is marked with an "M" on the left side.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large-size, impressive looking pen. The color scheme is very attractive and appears very posh. The cap and barrel have some polishing marks and light microscratching visible under magnification, but the whole pen looks really shiny and nearly new in hand. The clip and finials look great, with slight polishing marks only, and no plating wear. The cap band looks fantastic. The imprints are clear. Ships in box with paperwork and cartridges under the platform.
