Is this particular pen manufactured in China? I've noticed that some of the Cross products that are not made in the usa, are of vastly inferior qualit

It is made in China, the quality of the one I received is fine. I'd be willing to pay more for one made in the USA.

I didn't even check to see where the pen was made but I use my pens every day and one of the pens does not meet the quality that I have come to expect from Cross. The click on one pen has raised above the normal position to the where the tip of the ink is recesed and soon I won't be able to use it. Haven't had time to return it. I have only had it a couple of weeks

I think only their priciest ones are still made here. Main clicgel issue: refills disappointing.

I realy don't know, but as things are going today, I would sat "YES" a good quility pen also depends upon it's weight and balance. Also too, the ink and refill means so much. One can get a crumby pen and put a Good refill into it and now a Good pen has developed. Also too, I was able to make a Parker refill fit this pen and now it became a regular ink instead of a gel pen. I had to lightly sand the barrel of the Parker refill and it worked.

There is no country of origin stamped, tagged or marked on it anywhere. I detest purchasing anything from China...as I recall I did my homework when I bought it. I've had this for well over a year now, but it still looks brand new. Great product. Sorry, I can't help you more. Even if it WAS made in the USA last year when I bought mine, they may NOT be doing so now. Do your due diligence.

I looked on my tool and in the paperwork...can't tell where made due to wear on the sticker, as I have used this great tool for a year. I recall it being made in China tho, and while that is irritating, not much choice anymore. It is a very high quality tool tho, better than most of the shtuff out of there.

I'm sorry to report that is was made in China. :o\ But, nonetheless, it works very, very well---at least for me. :o)

I do not know where it is made but it has to be the worst pen I have ever had. I continually replace the ink fillers as they stop writing long before ink is empty. Somehow they have joined two separate parts to the filler and it cuts off the flow of ink. I gave up replacing them. It was the large size I was interested in, but no more for me.

I looked all over the product and couldn't see "Made in China" or anywhere else. I also check the user information. I would guess it wasn't made in China because that is usually displayed prominently. I will say it is very well made and works great.

I have used a Cross converter not specified for the Cross model I have. I have three different Cross fountain pens with converters and they all work far better tha Parkers and Sheaffers. If I were you I would give any of the many converters that resemble the one pictured--the same type as in my Cross pens.

I'm pretty sure it's made in China. I found a "China" stamp on their other products.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer. I would try any brick and mortar retail outlet that sells Cross pens.

The pen is about 7mm-10mm in diameter and is a ball point style. Cross does make fountain style pens but this is a multi-function pen; black, red, and pencil as well as having a stylus. Hope that helps.

as everything else in this world.....China..but the quality is excellent...and the pen writes beautiful. I have had it over a year and have received compliments and it has never ever failed me... Re-filled it twice. No problems at all...you can't go wrong....

Parker Pen Company is an American company, but they have their headquarters in England and several factories in other countries. This particular pen is manufactured in France.

Not sure but it's a crappy pen! Ink just runs out and when you write with it to much ink is used as well! Wouldn't recommend it!

I purchased one through Amazon that I assume was made in China. I used it once, and it quit working after that. I returned it and Amazon refunded my money immediately. I bought one for twice as much, but with warranty, from my stylist, and it too was made in China. So far so good though. The first one I had lasted over 4 years until I dropped it one too many times. :(

I think that it is made in China (some of their other products are) but I'm not 100% sure.

I just picked up one of these from Staples after flipping through the 20 or so they had on the shelf looking for one made in Japan but every single one of them said "made in China" on the back. For $1.99 w/coupon, I'm not going to be picky but it's a shame even the Japanese companies are moving production to China. The same thing also happened to the Pentel Energize mech. pencil: the old ones were made in Japan but all the new ones are made in China.

hi - I would assume china but not 100% sure. I think the point is if it's quality which I'd say it is. I have been using this in my home shop for a year and have no issue and I'm not the careful type so it seems like a reliable product so far....I do like it is my point and feel it will last.
