Research Note: #9596497: Verified as Marked "Elgin Nat'l Watch Co. U.S.A." on the train bridge instead of "Veritas." While the rayed damaskeening pattern is slightly different than the standard "Vertias" movements from this run, it appears to match the barrel bridge, indicating that everything appears to be original [eBay #265043019990].
