I believe its a Touch Down but not sure of the variation. I picked it up a a local garage sale for 5 bucks.

Pretty sure it's a Touchdown TM (thin model) of the "Admiral" variant. More info can be found here.

Thanks. I will soak it in a hot light soap water to clean it but I don't think I am going to rebuild it. Its just a nice pen.
If it is just exterior cleaning, *don't* soak it, as you'll get liquid inside the barrel and might develop rust. You can always clean the outside with a similar liquid on a cloth and then maybe used a little Simichrome on the nib. As for soaking, though, I *would* consider suspending just the tip, up past the section, in a glass with water/dishsoap overnight. Then flush the tip under running water to get as much trapped ink out of there before cleaning the nib.

It looks like my TD Statesman but mine has a white dot cap.
