Cross Coventry Blue Lacquer Ballpoint Pen

So I do like the way this pen writes. The ink flows nice. It writes smooth with no skipping. I bought the refills with it also because I have a hard time finding refills for pens unless I know the exact name of pen. The design is simply pretty. It is not a click pen. One must turn the bottom of the pen to use. It's a good value for the money. I have only one small very minor complaint. I have a planner that I use daily and it has a place for me to put a pen through a loop. The clip on the pen is very tight. I suppose this is a good thing for some people but it's hard for me to get pen out of the loop on my planner. That being said, that's not a deal breaker for me.

UPDATE: We finally got the ink flowing and canceled the return, so have updated to 5 star!Original Review (1 star)I was happy with weight, look and feel of the one in hand. However gave 1 star only because it appears that the ink has dried up or is a defective cartridge as I cannot get into flow/to write AT ALL! This is NOT typical for Cross. If it was writing, it would be an 5 star. And it is a graduation gift for tomorrow so very disappointed.

This pen is elegant, felt comfortable in my hand, and worked well for writing on various paper types at my office workplace.

Bolígrafo muy elegante.

I am a collector of mechanical pencils. I thought I have stumbled upon one with a cap (there are only 2 known models). I also expected the usual 0.5mm lead. Wrong on both counts.The price is fair... and the pen writes :-)

It came on time and was in perfect condition. Works perfectly.

Cross pens have the most beautiful lines and feel. You can’t have too many styles. Was gifted one at HS graduation. Have used them exclusively for sixty years.

It’s a pen. It does what it is supposed to do. I like that I can buy refills. A snazzy pen makes me feel special.
