Fits my cross pen, writes nice

Great

I've had this Cross pen for years and "loved" every use of it with a medium point refill. I had high expectations for this broad point to be the same, only broad. It does not write as smooth as I have come to expect from years of medium point use. Maybe it is just one that "got through" inspection, but it leaks ever so slightly, which is enough to cause it to gather fuzz that you have to wipe off sometimes before you can write. Now, this is not what Cross designed it to do, I am sure. But like I said, I expected the Cadillac of pens to be perfect, and it isn't. I will go back to a medium point with this when it runs out, and use other broad points. 'Didn't mean to be "tuff", but I still think Cross is the best pen ever! It is just that this particular refill didn't measure up for me. Maybe it will for you.

Writes poorly with smudges as ink does not flow uniformly from tip.

I made a mistake and bought a 10-pack of cheaper Cross refills also from Amazon that seemed to have good reviews. Never again. If you have a Cross pen (mine is actually from Tiffany), quality is important to you. Do not be suckered like I was! When you search "Cross Pen Refill" you get inundated with far-east knockoffs. It was actually hard to find the real thing on the Amazon site. Buy the real thing, and you won't be disappointed.

Useful and practical to have in case your pen run out of ink.
