That one should have feet at 1.7-21.7-39.2

It will fit both the model '79 and model '83 EDIT; in open face movements .

I am probably off on eyeballing the feet locations.Would this fit all model 83's or only
certain grades?

Lorne may be more right than mine. Let me go back above and "edit" some of my remarks in red so members and guests will have the same info. Thanks Lorne.

After about an hour of researching two publications, I come up with this on 18sz American dial feet positions;

1.7/21.7/39.2 Models 1879 & 1883 in Open Face.

13.1/37.6/52.4 Models 1870 & Model 1883 in
Hunting Case

16.5/36.5/54.0 Model 1857 KW/HC, Model 1859 KW,
Model 1877 KW/HC, Model 1883 KW/HC

18.2/38.8/56.6 Model 1892 Both Open Face &
Hunting Case.
