The Inexpensive Windsor?

[omegapd]

Hello All,

 

Tonight, I received this pen from a friend who knew I wanted to start collecting pens. For that, I am extremely grateful. I'm pretty sure it's an inexpensive Cross- probably bought at an office supply store like Staples. I'm not sure of the model name, but the box has Cross/Dalton and the # AT0582-3KR

BP/K-RING

 

It is a set with two ball point pens. The large one pictured below and a smaller bullet one on a key chain. I have "doodled" with the large one quite a bit tonight and it writes very well. It has a silver twist "cap" and black body (forgive me if I'm calling the pieces by the wrong name- I'm very new to this hobby). The "cap" twists and then the point is exposed.

 

 

This set I found on E-bay is similar but not the same. It is just a guess that my pen is also a Windsor because of the shape of both pens. My "bullet" pen is almost identical to this one.

 

E-bay Windsor

 

So, thanks for any information I can receive. I may do a quick review in the coming days if we can narrow down an actual model name/number for it.

This is not a Windsor. Windsors have a black lacquer band with "CROSS" lettering in it.

This is Windsor:

 

 

Note the black band in this:

 

 

I'm quite sure that yours is a black Calais.

You could convert your second pen into a pencil:http://www.cross.com/switch-it/switchithome.aspx?cat_name=Switch_It_Home

 

I'm pretty sure it's an inexpensive Cross

Its not right to undermine the cost of these pens; Calais and Windsors' are inexpensive only in Cross domain.

These Indian pens worth US $0.04 write well, of course I don't mean to compare.
