Altman Luggage has the Cross Townsend Fountain pen marked down to $59. Use coupon code "winter" and get another 15% off dropping the price to $50.15. Shipping was $8 and no tax to my locality. Total $58.15 delivered. Looks like medium nib only. I already got mine. Nice pen at a good price.

**EDIT**

Looks like the discount is no longer being applied to closeout merchandise. So, the pen is simply $59 plus shipping. All in all, still a pretty decent deal.

Hi,
What kind of nib did it come with? Gold plated or gold?
Either way, a good deal. Really good if the nib's gold.

Nib is marked 14K on one side and 585 on the other. My understanding is that this is gold not gold plated.

Discount not valid for closeouts fwiw.

Odd, the discount worked for me. It was a couple of weeks ago though so it looks like they must have changed thier policy. Sorry for the confusion. Either way, I think $59 is still a pretty decent deal.

It's definitely a good deal.
