Please Help Me Identify This Hargreaves Landsdowne Cross Fp

[sandy101]

I won a Cross Pen set on e-bay. I'm not entirely sure which type of Cross pen it is. The description said the set was worth £125, but there's a couple of sets at this retail price.

 

I know it's not the Century - I suspect it is the ATX, and not the Townsend but I'm not exactly sure, and there's no documentation. Could someone enlighten me, please? Does this take the same convertor as the Cross Century? (Green one, I think)

 

Thank you.

 

Just to add - a lot of these sets seem to be appearing on e-bay. Customers receive them when they do some kind of deal, or introduce their friends to Hargreaves Landsdown in the UK and a fair few turn up on e-bay. They are branded, and as such not many collectors seem to bid for them. It's a matching FP and ballpoint set, and can be picked up for around £18-£25 (Don't go chasing them, as they seem to appear quite regularly).

I think ATX as well, from their website. Never held one in the flesh, myself.

I have an ATX and the nib section certainly looks the part, however the back is different asyou can see from my picture it tapers gently and is one piece, plus the cap is not fat, but 'streamlined' with the body.

Cross Dubai?!?

 

I image searched that name in google, and a few pens that look like this one showed up.

HTH,

Thank you - it does indeed look like the Cross Dubai. As Dapperman says, the pen is not exactly identical to the ATX, and this is why I've been having problems. it's similar, but not quite. The "groove/bump" at the end of the nib section is not on the ATX and the chrome ring on the cap is not on any of the ATX ones I've seen.

An old friend of mine had amassed a handful of Cross pens, so when I saw this I thought it was the Bailey... Searching for that turned up the Dubai.

 

I'm glad it seems to be correct. Enjoy your pen!

I agree, that's a Cross Dubai.
