HELLO,

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE MARK"DOUBLE ROLLER" IN THAT POSITION.IS IT A VARIANT OR A FACTORY MISTAKE?
THANKS, NUMBER 2242404

Andrea, I went and dug up some Sangamo's which only show what a "single roller" looked like, and the position of the double roller marks on most other Double Roller models.

As part of 2,615 made in short runs from S/N 2135201 - 2519800, your eminently collectible Sangamo has four interesting distinctions;

1. The Double Roller mark is on the train plate
2. It is Gold Inlaid.
3. It is the 23 Jewel variant with a "Jewelled Main Barrel.
4. It is among the very last Getty Sangamo movements made, as the New Bridge model Sangamo Specials were produced from about 2541000 up.

Lindell, David

thank you very much for your comments. I do also think it may be a " factory variant", that is why i have posted on here. It would be interesting to see other Sangamos of the same run and their markings too, so to have a sure comparison and hopefully having a definitive answer about it

Andrea
