Need Help With An Old Cross Pen

[HiDaniel]

So I have been using a cross fountain pen for the past 2 years and i find it perfect due to the ink flow it gives and whatnot however over the years it has really worn down and the cap has been lost so i use another pen's red cap to put over it eventhough it doesnt really fit.

 

Recently i was gifted a lamy safari for my 16th birthday and whilst it is a good pen, for a left hander i dont think it works well and it simply is really scratchy and doesnt give the ink flow the cross one does and feels more like a fine nib eventhough it says medium.

 

I need help identifying my old cross pen and any ideas about how to fix it up a bit so it doesn't look like how it does?

 

I remember it came in one of these premium brown cross gift box sets and it was a 2 pen set, one was the black fountain pen and the other was a roller point.

 

Dunno what to do , because i cant really ask to buy a new pen and the lamy is nice but simply not smooth enough like the cross one is and the cross one obviously is quite the sight....

It's difficult to tell, given the missing cap, the wear to the pen, and the fact that none of the pictures provide a full, clear image of the end of the pen opposite the nib. Based on what I can see, I think it might be one of these models:

Apogee

Bailey

Dalton

Dubai

Torero

 

Try looking those up online and if any of them ring a bell. Good luck with your hunt -- please let us know what you find!

The key features are the profile of the section (that little flare where it meets the barrel), and the raised rib at the foot of the pen.

 

I think the metal section may exclude the Bailey.

I think the absence of threading on the section excludes the Torero.

The Dubai might be worth looking at.
