In reply to Anyone help with which model by crockodillopig
In reply to Crock, can you add pics of by DarHin
Hi there,
Thanks for the comments so far. I have to admit that I thought it was a square rather than an L3, but maybe I was looking for a shape rather than a later code because the chap I bought it off thought it was approximately 1940s. And I figured that the 5AB movement made more sense for a 1936 model.
Your guess is as good as mine with regards to what is scrawled on the inside of the case, only "proper" markings are on the outside, which again (I thought) meant it was an older model.
Sorry, but I don't have the equipment to measure the glass thickness. It's thick though, which might be more easily seen on the final picture.
I initially thought it might be from the "Her excellency" range, but not if it is as old as 1936, and I'm also now not sure that it's Her Excellency because the shape doesn't look quite like any of teh other ones or adverts I've seen.
Anyway, thanks again for everyone's input, it's really appreciated.
