## Description

desertcart.com : Cross Classic Century Refillable Ballpoint Pen Presented in a Luxury Gift Box - Medium Point, Black Ink, Black & Gold : Ballpoint Stick Pens : Office Products

Review: Great purchase - Very professional and economical. Stand behind their quality product, for the price great purchase and highly recommended
Review: Great value, great pen! - Update: 2024 I’ve had this pen for 8 years now and regularly return to it. I’ve used the Jetstream, Power Tank, Jotter, Acroball, Rotring, and Bic Cristal, among others, and while each has advantages, I often consciously return to my reliable Cross Classic Century in black and gold. Why? The slim profile fits my hand; it doesn’t rattle or make any noise at all (unlike many click pens); it looks professional yet with an understated not ostentatious style; and the refill is reliable. As to the refill, I’ve noticed an improvement over the last year. The newest Cross medium refills are slightly smaller at the plastic top section that screws into the pen, but still fit securely. The ink seems to have been improved. It isn’t Jetstream or Acroball level low-viscosity, but it is, IMHO, on par with the Parker Quinkflow. Overall a great improvement over past Cross refills. If you can swing the price (which remains admittedly annoyingly high), this pen and refill is a winner. Also, some reviews criticize the smooth section on the top part of the PVD models. That’s not a flaw, it’s designed that way to allow engraving, which otherwise couldn’t happen due to the texture on the rest of those models. _____________ I’ve had this pen for going on 5 years now and although I’ve not used it exclusively during that time, I have used it a fair amount and it’s held up well. The classic black is much easier to grip and write with than the chrome or gold models (more slippery polished surfaces). I’ve come to appreciate the screw in style refill and the pen writes well for long periods of time without straining my hand. I highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Was it made in the USA?**
A: I have misplaced my two MADE IN USA Cross Century Pens. I just made a thorough search of the Cross Pen Company and could not find the word USA or China or made in!

**Q: Is the pencil 0.7mm as advertised or 0.5mm? Thank you**
A: 0.7mm.  I've had Cross pen and pencil sets for over thiry-five years.  I like the larger pencil lead size.  It doesen't break as easy, or as much, as when the Cross pencils were 0.5mm.  jd

**Q: Does this include the box??**
A: Yes it does, but not as nice as their packaging used to be.  My $80.00 pen & pencil set came in a cardboard box.jd

**Q: Can you engrave these?**
A: Absolutely!  Over 30 years ago I engraved one of these pens and gifted it to my mother.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality pens, durable, and attractive
*by L***M on August 5, 2025*

I live in Vietnam and the quality of ballpoint pens out there is abysmal. I donate BIC Stic and BIC Clic Stic pens to my local elementary school and all the kids love them. But for folks who live with a pen in their hand something nicer is appreciated. I fell in love with the Cross Classic Century when I first encountered it a couple or three decades ago and have gifted a couple dozen of them over the years. Good quality pens that resist breaking and malfunctioning. Cross refills are more expensive than the Chinese "equivalents" but lack equivalent quality.
