Review: J'ai adoré la prise en main, et il roule très bien
Review: initially all was fine, but as I kept using the pen, after about 6 months it started leaking, at the point where the nib attaches to the base of the pen. It may have been a dud so I will try another one. otherwise, beautiful to behold and comfortable to hold

A: I have not used the fountain pen, however, Cross stands behind their products.  My set has lasted me a lifetime. (that would be 50 years since I graduated from high school)  I recently purchased a Cross pen for my granddaughter to take to the University of Kansas.  She is a writer.

The Century II specs are:Width: 0.36 inches / 9.1 mmLength: 5.39 inches / 137 mmWeight: 1.01 oz / 29 gramsThe Classic Century pen specs are, Width: 0.3 inches / 7.6 mmLength: 5.23 inches / 133 mmWeight: 0.57 oz / 16 gramsBy the numbers it doesn't seem like much difference but holding the pen it is noticeable difference.
