Curator Response: Thanks for the report. After reviewing the auction images, this particular movement has been determined as fraudulently marked "21 Jewels" at some point. The movement clearly features metal bushings on all visiable train pivots, consistent with the 7-Jewel Grade 290 designation found in factory serial lists.
