Here's a nice Vacumatic lockdown filler set in oversize (13.8 cm) found in an antique fair this week. 

It's canadian made, and both the body and the nib mention "importé du Canada".

Not a scratch, and in its original box.

Great case. Great set. You might find the nib is marked 18k, consistent with this set's manufacture in Canada for export to France. Not at all common.  Faux Shagreen case. Lovely.

Thanks for your answer, David. 

Indeed the nib is marked 18K. And there is also a Registered number on the clip ring. Would you know what it corresponds to ?

The registration number on clip I believe is typical to Canadian Vacs from this era.
