I have this green and black lacquer Cross Townsend - I thought it was malachite? or is it something other?... Although v very little used, the cap has been lost....

 

There are five Townsends that are primarily green (six, if you include the Boba Fett pen. Yours is the Marbled Green Lacquer, based on the picture you posted just above. I've attached a picture of the five pens, from left to right:

 

516 Marbled Green Lacquer

696-5 Translucent Green

676 Jade

696-6 Malachite Lacquer

696-14 Emerald Lacquer

I am thinking of selling my Cross Townsend Lapis Lazuli. I bought it brand new 23 years ago, and apart from one brief inking it has lain in its box untouched and pristine. It comes with an M nib. It has its papers and box.
