It may be an early version of a cigar rollerball. I base that on the hexagon finial only, as I don't recognize the other components.

Possible Classic Elite2 PSI kit. I too say it is a cigar kit. Could you show the clip? It is a ballpoint. Older version of Woodriver kit maybe? Check woodcraft.

Even if you can't find an exact matching kit, if you want to get close to reproducing it, you might consider kitbashing a PSI Classic Elite, Turner's Warehouse Classic, or other 10mm rollerball with a clip and finial from a Cigar kit.
Although it is more expensive and takes some careful finagling with turning bushings, I have become very fond of kitbashing the PSI Magnetic Graduate and the Exotic Blanks Diamond Knurl Rollerball kits into a hybrid because I like the Magnetic Graduate except for its cap/clip. I much prefer the style of the cap/clip of the Diamond Knurl. That and the fact that it can be disassembled and fitted with a custom cabochon.

It is the El Presidente. Last people to sell them that I remember was Lau Lau in Hawaii. There site mentions kits but I can't get to the page.
Seems Exotic Blanks have the El Toro, fountain pen version, but not the rollerball. https://exoticblanks.com/products/el-toro-fountain-pen-kits Mr Brown might be able to find the rollerball stashed somewhere or know where you can find them.

Problem solved! A guy came into the shop with the pen and said he lost the spring. someone gave him a spring and said it would work but didn't. The set up is similar to the Barron kit and takes a smaller spring that goes in before the refill. Once a found a compatible spring the problem was solved. Thanks for everyone's input.
