Seeking info on a treasured Gel Pen I used in the mid-90's

[sween1911]

Hello! I remember using a pen in college in the 90's that I loved. Can't remember for the life of me the brand or model.

 

- pushbutton clickie

- disposable non-refillable gel pen

- solid black body

- the pocket clip was the tip retraction mechanism

 

 

 

I want to say it was a Pentel or Pilot but could have been Uni-ball or Papermate or possible another I'm forgetting.

 

I've attached a link to a sketch I did of what I can remember.

 

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a Pilot DownForce to me. Check out JetPens.com as one source.

Oh man I'm sorry I clicked on this, I remembered it immediately. I had a bunch that I bought from Lee's Art Shop in Manhattan, and I carried them everywhere during the early 90s. They came in blue and black. 

 

And I cannot remember what they were. I want to say Pilot or Uniball, and part of me thinks that it was an early model of the Vision. 

 

This is going to make me nuts, so thanks for that. 😅

It just came to me. . .  it's the first version of the Pilot Explorer.
