Checking the Cross.com site this morning it would seem logical the dark green lacque has the same nib as their current lacque models have.
They show a Quartz Blue and 2 black lacque models all with 18k Gold/Rhodium nibs. They also have a nice selection of replacement nibs under refills section.
I personally find the Townsend too large and heavy for my use. Enjoy the pen, they are quality and should last years.

Mine has a gold nib and I suspect the pen only came with gold nib/accents. While silver/rhodium can look good on green pens, I am not sure it would go well with this particular green.
