I was viewing Stephen Brown's video comparison of the plastic Vector and the current all metal Vector.
However, back in the 1990's I was given a black all metal fountain pen by Parker which was identical to a Vector, but all metal. Can anyone remember what this model was called? I recall it was not called a Vector and had a different name.
I looked here and there is nothing like it:

It had a gold clip and a gold plated nib and a gold coloured circle set into the end cap. It cost about £25 - five times the cost of a Vector at that time.
Although the nib unit was the same as a vector I found it clogged badly - on numerous occasions. I am sure it eventually ended up being thrown out as there was no easy way to clean the nib. If I had had access to an ultrasonic cleaner back then I might have been able to fix it.
Any ideas what this pen model was called? i think I was given it in 1994, but it may have been later.
