Cross Townsend With A Translucent Green Stripe

[Samuel]

Is there a cross townsend with a translucent green stripe design. I have what appears to be a townsend, however the color is a deep green with a translucent stripe effect. The gold clip has Cross engraved (in script writing, not the current font). I'll take pics and post them, but I've been searching online and I've seen nothing of this type of color and design that is a townsend pen. Has anyone encountered a townsend like this?

I have one which appears translucent. Held in light one way, green strips appear wider than black stripes in between; held another way in light, and the black stripes appear wider than the green. With gold trim, it is quite attractive. They are rare, however. Joon or Fountain Pen Hospital had a few left quite a few months (a year?) ago.

I have one also--with block lettering, not script, on the clip. I purchased it about three years ago from Altman Luggage with a fairly deep discount. I've attached a listing from the Cross catalogue which I saved at that time. The actual pen is much more attractive than the rather poor photo.

There may be two translucent models; mine does not have a diamond pattern.

Here are the pics, maybe this isn't the cross townsend? I don't see a black stripe, just green stripes. My mother needs to sell her pen collection, unfortunately she older and isn't recalling what each pen exactly is (name etc) but she has numerous pens, and some were quite expensive, so I'm trying to help her by locating them online to identify them - but this one I haven't found anywhere

Yep, that's the one. Lovely!

Thanks Russ, is that also 18K gold trimmings?

I'm not sure about the trim. I hadn't thought about it ... good question!
