Looking to identify a Cross ballpoint
 

Hello.

This group looks a bit dead... but here goes a try:

I have a Cross ballpoint pen that I have trouble locating refills for. I
mean I know where to get refills from, I just don't know what type of
refill I should order for it (there seems to be a thickness factor
involved).

I would also like to know what the model is called if someone can
identify it, how much it used to cost etc.

I received it as a gift in 1993 but it's not on the Cross website now.
It looks somewhat like a Century Classic in shape, it's clipless, matte
black with gold trim at top and bottom and a leafy-floral gold engraved
ring in the middle. There's no logo on it anywhere and I figured out
it's a Cross by pure chance.

rgds,

Is there an old refill in the pen? If it's a very skinny metal tube with a
plastic "knob" at the top, it's a standard Cross BP refill. If it's a fat
(about 1/4 inch diameter) metal tube with a thin tube projecting from the
end that contains the point, it's a SelecTip refill.

There's no logo on it anywhere and I figured out
it's a Cross by pure chance.

How did you ID it? I thought Cross put their name on all of their pens.
