Could you help identify this cross fountain pen from the 1990's?

Like the the title says, I need finding the name of a cross fountain pen. I bought it in the 1990's, I guess I was just curious what fountain pens were like. I tried it using cartridges and then for some reason I can't remember, I stopped using it. I forgot about it and then years later after watching youtube videos about fountain pens, I got interested in them again. I now have multiple fountain pens. I finally took out the cross pen again. I would like to find a cartridge converter for it, if possible. I am also just curious what the model is. I suspect I if find out the model, I can find out what converter I need. But of course I long ago forgot what model it was. Anyway here are pics of the pen:

If you can help me identify which cross pen this is or what converter is needed for it, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm not an expert in Cross fountain pens but try comparing it with images of a Cross Solo as that's what it resembles when I look at images. There are two different versions of Cross converters and you have to get the right one that is used in a Solo if that's the right pen.

I agree with Chrissy that this appears to be the Cross Solo. I did have one of these in a great shade of green.

I think you guys just maybe right. I just googled "Cross Solo fountain pen" and a link this video came up in the search listings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqUTSQkNeec In the video is a pen that is the spitting image of my pen, and in the description, it says it was discontinued in the 1990s! Which would explain why when I look at the cross's webpage and on amazon, I couldn't find a cross pen selling today that looks like my pen.
