I received this pen fairly quickly and the first thing I think I should count on the packaging. The box is better than most others in this price range.The pen itself is good. I usually prefer a screw on cap but it's not the end of the world.I love the orange coloured convertor for this pen. It's probably the best looking converter I've ever seen. Not to mention that it is a screw in convertor which will ensure that it doesn't slip out.The nib was very smooth right out of the box. I noticed that on most papers I wrote on, it was fairly squeaky. I'm not exactly sure why that is the case but after a bit of fine tuning with micro mesh and a couple weeks of writing it seems to have gone.

The Cross Bailey fountain pens are fairly average, with medium stainless steel nibs that are best described as "above adequate". Where this off-shoot of that range shines though, quite literally, is in the lacquered finish.The lacquer on the red and blue pens is simply gorgeous. They each have a deeply hued outer layer which somehow seems to provide a translucent depth to a silvery under-layer, creating the impression of depth. They catch the light well and the silver-coloured ornamentation sits well with the colours.I have specifically bought the red and blue editions to use with red and blue inks, using the Cross converters which are sold separately.

I have wanted a decent fountain pen for a while now, as I do a fair bit of writing at work.Cross has a very good reputation for manufacturing quality pens, and I wasn't dissapointed.This pen is all I expected, easy to fit cartridges, easy to fit an ink converter (available separately) and, ultimately, easy to write with.No pressure on nib required and it glides across the page.The only issue that I have, is the lid does not sit on the pen end when writing, which is where I like to keep it.For this reason only, I have deducted 1 star.

The pen is really good and writes beautifully. Many people have commented that the cap falls off when posted and I too had this problem. However, after a few weeks of use, carrying in my pocket and also washing the cap out with hot dilute washing up liquid and rinsing thoroughly in hot water, the cap stays firmly in place. I think there must be some manufacturing lubricant left on the surfaces and once this is removed, either by wear or washing, the cap will stay on.

I simply love my fountain pens. This writes beautifully. Simply glides in paper!! Two things would like to point out though...1. The nib is far thicker than A regular nib. You get a far thicker line. And so smaller writing is not so possible.2. Didn’t mention anywhere that it only has refill cartridge. I had to buy the converter separately to fill ink from bottle.Other than that... love the pen.

I was looking for a cross bailey fountain pen, I looked on one websie, but when I went to order it i found it was out of stock. I thought I would try amazon , and fond the same product for half the price. I ordered it on thursday and it arrived on Saturday. Great service. Thankyou amazon.

It got 5 because for the price it looks great a bit Mont Blanc like and classy, the cap is a bit stiff and takes a bit of pulling off but otherwise this is a nicely weighted pen, it writes very nicely and is a bargain for the price. I liked it so much I bought another one as a gift

The pen is all I expect from Cross and writes well when dipped in ink. This pen did not however come with spare cartridges as described. This was not a national disaster as I am waiting for a converter to arrive. It would however have been nice to have tried the alternative.

Beautiful design. I find myself seeking out things to write so that I can use the pen! Wanted to start writing again and this is a great not so expensive pen to get back in groove!

It takes a bit of a pull to get the cap off, but overall this is a great pen. It doesn't go through WH Smith memo paper whereas another pen I have does. This is important for work.

Attractive pen. Nicely balanced and a lovely writer. One problem is that the top when fitted on the body of the pen is very tight and needs a considerable pull to get it off.

I have returned to writing letters and by buying a spin my writing and improved tremendously I recommend everybody should go back to writing with a fountain pen

Lovely looking pen that writes very nicely. I have had many comments about this pen and it looks much more expensive than it actually is!
