Several years ago I bought a gold Cross Peerless 125.  Online, I noticed almost all pictures of this pen have a pocket clip with an embossed "Cross" on a black lacquered background.  Mine is an engraved "Cross".   I have seen a few examples of this online, but not many.  I have no concerns about authenticity (bought new), but was wondering if anyone has a back story about the pocket clip differences?

I sent an email into Cross and they responded there were no official public announcements about the clip style change, but their understanding is the non-lacquer/embossed clips were from an early run.

I've got 12 Peerless: 10 FP, 2 BP.  All of mine are engraved except the Starwars FP and one of the BPs, which are embossed.

Interesting... 95%+ of all Peerless 125 pictures online show embossed with black lacquer.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
