Hi Chris,

I like these, if you are looking to sell or service email me. trying to find out what model it is, is the anything under the balance cock?
when I get time later will try and identify the movement type, unless anyone can before me (Val 72 ?) Smile I may have that broken spring in stock

Thank you Chris. Do not have this one yet. As for the broken spring, this news to me. The person who has it says that it is running.


Thanks again.

your hammer spring is broken, and something very odd on the hammer post.

Thanks guys for all you posts. Deal did not go through. The guy wanted too much money ontop of the trade, $1350.00. Crazy.

Thanks again

Yes I agree that is by my standards here in the UK a very high price. Well left alone.
