Has anyone seen a model 7 movement like this?
I can find no listing for two tone 16 size, only 12 size.

Thanks Steve

It is a Grade 387, but finished this way is a very unusual example of that grade. There must be more to the story.

It appears that there are a few of these types of grade 387's
Can't say that I have seen many of these but it is a beautiful movement.

Dave and Claude

Thanks for the quick response. I have seen lots of the gold flashed movements, but they were all much newer than 1916.

Here is the face in case you were wondering what it is like.

Thanks again ,Steve

I guess the 387 had the two tone DMK effect and was not gold flashed like the later BWR grade 5xx types. I will have to keep my eyes out for this movement.
