first, there are 3 extra holes, with darkness, next to the movement mounting bracket, indicating a possible movement change in the case. There is a large spider crack in the porcelain dial at 4:30. A minor ding in pendulum bob below center. The movement has been professionally cleaned and re-strung with gut, and bezel, hands, pulley, pendulum and associated parts are original. In good running order. See "Lenzkirch, the Unsigned Story", page 104 for line drawing of this model. Finials are different. Interestingly, the dial plate is numbered 465443 [one digit off], probably a factory error. Ht 49 1/2"
