I had the good fortune of picking up this Parker felt tip pen at the flea market last Sunday at a sumgai price. While clearly all titanium, and with the classic red barrel jewel, I initially assumed this is a T-1 model. But I am confused by the lack of a similar red jewel on the cap. I read the very good article about the T-1 model line on Parkerpens.net, but that may have only added to my confusion. The article mentions that while the model line (including the felt-tip) was short-lived, Parker used up remaining parts by using them in the Parker 75 line. I found similarly configured pens being offered as T-1 Rollerballs, but I'd like to be sure. Is this a T-1, or a Parker 75? Thanks in advance

This Cross pen (see photos) is from the '70s or '80s. On the cap: "-1/20 12KT" and below it: "-GOLD FILLED". Also, "Cross" and "Made in USA". the body measures 4 3/4" long and the cap is 2 3/16" long. I'm thinking it is a Classic, but does it have a model number or a more specific name? It has an old felt tip ink cartridge that says "G7" on the side, along with the A. T. Cross name etc. The existing cartridge measures 4 5/16" long and about 1/4" diameter at the widest part. I emailed Cross customer service and the rep said that the "Porous Point (Felt Tip) Refill for Selectip Pens" is the only refill that will fit this pen. Before I get the new refill, I thought I'd check here on the forum. It seems like the end of the new felt tip refill is different from the old felt tip cartridge I have, which has a slight taper to the endcap, and so I'm not sure if the new Cross refill will fit. Also, ideally, I would like a ballpoint or gel refill for this pen. Are there any refills (ballpoint, gel or felt tip) available for this pen that you know will work? If not, what are my options since it has sentimental value and I'd love to be able to use it. Thank you!
