More Information

In our opinion, the movement is original to the case.
All elements of the dial and the movement appear to be present and in order.
In regards to the case, there is a small 3 cm crack to the glass.
The four bun feet and the barley twist pillasters appear to be later additions / replacements.
Otherwise case and movement in excellent condition
Please note:
The hinges on the trunk door are lacking screws
