Does this fit and work well in the Cross Bailey fountain pens? Or is there a better choice for cross pens?

No. Cross pens use a Cross converter. The Bailey in particular uses the Cross green converter.

I'm no expert, but I noticed on my converter that the actual ink compartment is deeper than just the opaque area. Mine fills to about 2/3 of that and holds sufficient ink for several long winded letters. I have not used ink cartridges, so I would contact the company for proper fit. Best of luck!

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.

Yeah you can definitely do this for parker nibs, and it should work for anything with the right thread size that works with parker style ink cartridges.

I don't know, I have another model, but this one does http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Refills-Converter-Century-Fountain/dp/B003TTJSSY/ref=sr_1_13?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1394667966&sr=1-13&keywords=cross+century+fountain+pen

Cross does not advertise which converter will work, but the comments to the following blog has some people saying that this threaded one works if you push it on hard (not threading it on), and others saying that the green push on converter works (although one person said that he had to remove a spring from the pen body?). The best advice on the blog is to email Cross and ask them. Reportedly they will answer but one person was told the green converter and another was told at a Cross Store that the orange one should be used. At least if you ask in email you have their recommendation in writing so if it doesn't work or it breaks the pen you have grounds for a warranty claim. http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/202266-cross-aventura-review/

This is a Parker brand fountain pen ink converter and should fit all Parker fountain pens. Joseph C. Ptasinski/Passion4Pens

Great question, unfortunately I do not have an answer for you but the best course of action would be to visit a stationary super store and check out the Cross refills available. I too prefer the gel ink Good luck

I don't know. The cross website does not list the Cross Dubai fountain pen. Best thing would be to contact them at consumerre@cross.com The converter that you are asking about is the screw in style converter (8756). The Cross website says: "Screw-in style converter for Torero, Affinity, Sauvage, C-Series, Sentiment, Century II, Apogee, Verve, and ATX fountain pens enables the use of bottled ink in place of fountain pen ink cartridges." There is also a push-in style converter (8751). For this push-in converter the Cross website says: "Push-in Style Converter for Cross Townsend fountain pens enables the use of bottled ink in place of fountain pen ink cartridges." I just removed the 8756 converter that you are asking about from my Cross Century II medalist. Try remove your ink cartridge. The thread for the 8756 cartridge is visible about 3 mm down the inside of the tube containing the nib. It's a fine thread cut into the metal tube, perhaps 48 threads per inch (with a ruler, the 6 threads on the 8756 cover about 1/8"). Hope that helps. If your pen is really slim then it might be based on the Classic Century or the Spire model. There does not appear to be a a converter for those two models. The Classic Century is 8.1 mm wide (dia), 141 mm long and weighs 17g empty. The spire appears to be a bit shorter.

I use Monteverde mini ballpoint refills (Medium Point) for multi function pens. I did not like the Fisher refills because they tended to skip a lot. These fit pretty loose in my Space Pen so I pressed the open end of the refill to make it a little out of round. This made it fit tight. I love this pen now that I use these refills. I hope this helps.

Hi John,My pen is a Cross Solo. It works perfectly for me. Apologies but I am not a Cross expert to tell you if this would work for your model of Cross Pen. I guess all Cross pen boots should match the same connect. i.e. are you using standard cross refills for your pen? if yes. then it should work is my guess. However, please check the net further before taking the risk and ordering.Regards,Ishan

I think it's only one cartridge size for vector fountain pen (http://www.amazon.com/Parker-Permanent-Cartridges-Fountain-3011031PP/dp/B0017DAAUO/ref=pd_sim_op_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1HJZ13J5X5QXF828XBRY). Medium or fine it's the size of the nib.

I am not sure of the specifications... but it goes like this... if the refill head (that's where you screw the refill to body) has same size.. and fits through meaning the diameter goes thru.. then it works.. since I do not know.. what you do is cross check the pen and cross check possible refills for CROSS... that the the best option... but if broad tipped means larger diameter.. then no.. you have to research the specs for the pen and then the type of refills.. or just go to a store where you can see it up close... dunno know if this is even helpful.. I mix match myself but its not a good way to learn about makeshift refills or swaps

It's not a sure thing that this will fit. It did work in the Sheafer that I bought it for but I was comparing it on another Sheafer that I have (a cheaper student pen I think) from the mid 80's and it will not fit. It really depends on the inside shape of the pen's barrel. If it is hollow above where the cartridge would sit then you might be okay. Also, this item is similar to a universal fit ink converter which are usually cheaper to by.

You need to ensure that your Stratford is a push on type of cartridge. Because this is that type of converter. If yours is then this should work for you. Cross has manufactured both the push on and screw on type for the Stratford according to when it was made and also if it was one of the limited editions of the Stratford series. If you're not sure which it is then I suggest that you remove the barrel and shine a light and use a magnifying glass to inspect the pen and see if it has threads or not for the converter. One caution though. Not all converters are always manufactured to the exact same in tolerances so before you fill your converter with ink ensure that it has a very snug fit or you will have leakage. I personally have had the exact same converters arrive from the same manufacturers and they didn't fit properly and had to be returned. Also one more piece of advice. I find that filling the converter with a small pipette before inserting it into the pen makes no mess plus it keeps the pen tip nice and clean.

I have yet to use cartridges with this pen. I use Noodlers Heart of Darkness black ('cause I love the super dark black, and I think it just makes sense with this pen), and I use the supplied converter. I usually get a bit less than a month's worth of daily journaling out of this setup. I know it's not quite as easy as cartridges, but I find that the five minutes it takes to fill the converter is a small price to pay for the quality of the Noodlers ink. Plus, the ink is so much cheaper than buying cartridges.
