this issue has been raised couple times in chat amongst Ron Zorn, Kirchheimer
and me. I await a definitive answer.
But... the WW-II era Triumph pen and related "flush cap" model (at least the
Tucky) have same size cap for pens of both length. The long-barrel pen packs a
clip cap. The Tucky from this era tends to be clipless (not sure I've seen a
short "clasp" clip ever for such pens) though the post WW-II Sheaffers have
short clip on Tuckies. My suspicion is that to find a WW II era Triumph (thin
long flush cap1250) with no clip, or to find a Tucky with a clip, indicates a
Mix. But... i cannot prove that.

Subject: Sheaffer Triumph - Clipless Model?
I am in possession of a nice Carmine vac fill Triumph that has a clipless cap
with a wide cap band ala the Tuckaway pens. Was there a $12.50 Triumph model
without a clip or is this a marriage of a Tuckie cap with a Triumph barrel. I
don't have a Tucky to see if this cap would fit one.

in the photo, but there is a white dot above where a clip would usually be
mounted.
TIA.
