I've had a cross on my list for a long time but there just always seemed like something else I wanted more. I think it'll hang around a while more. I like the end result of the drawing. Having the strong contrast on both sides and a softness around them really plays off itself nicely. 👍🏻
I actually received a Cross Bailey Light free with the purchase of other pens from Cross on their web site. It sat unused for a year until I fired it up two months ago. It is a much better pen than expected. Very well behaved small, inexpensive, snap capped pen.
The Cross brand is using a proprietary cartridge and converter. Search for "Cross fountain pen converter" and you should be able to find what you need.

Nothing wrong with waiting for something better if that is what you want!
Thanks Pete - glad you enjoyed the end result! :)

It is surprisingly good, that is for sure.

Legend!
Ive heard this pen is way too light. What do you think?
I don't think so - is heavier than a LAMY Safari... similar with the Jinhao 82 I would say.
Which converter you use with this pen??
