Cross Id Please

Hey all, I was gifted this Cross ballpoint a few years ago. Been unable to identify it Could anyone help? It looks similar to a Century II I think, but there are some differences between this one and what the Century II looks like on Cross's website.

 

Thanks!

I believe it is a Cross Nile model. I searched Amazon, and I found a black and a silver version available.

Nile, that's it. Thanks so much! Do you know much about alternatives to the ballpoint refill for these Crosses? I'm looking for something either like a BIC Cristal 1.6 or maybe even a gel, but I doubt I'd find that given the size of the refill cartridge.

Sorry, I do not know of an alternative; I utilize a Cross broad refill.

Hi, You will need to use 'Cross type' refills, the very thin ones, nothing else will fit.

For a broad writng line, you could have a look at this web page;
