Cannot be clear as to size or capband detail in the pic, but if 5" it is vac major if 4.75 it is vac debutante. Clip appears to be replacement clip.

Nice vacumatic and I agree with David the clip seems not to be a parker clip. Nice waterman man 100s as well.

David may have a better answer than mine. I have one of these that is very
similar to yours. The body says "geo s parker vacumatic made in usa 4"
Yours seems to have a different clip than mine. It's supposed to be an arrow
with a blue diamond. The clip is some silver type plating. The ring has a hashed
V pattern that does not go all the way around. The one in Paul Erano's book is
just like mine including the clip. It says it is a standard sized Blue Diamond
Vacumatic c. 1945.

Unless they put different clips on these, I would suggest that the clip's
been replaced by some other type. maybe some one else has a better answer.
Good luck.

thank you all for the information.

i'm not into old pens, so i don't know how much this pen is worth.
it this a rare fountainpen?


thanks

I can't address the value issue too well (although Vacumatics do seem to be well-appreciated, generally), but I wanted to remind the discussion that the 4 at the end of the imprint would be a date code for 1944, and the lack of dots around it makes it last quarter of the year.

Just provin' I know stuff.
