Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The Hampden 16-Size Model 4 was offered in both openface and hunting configurations. The plates are essentially mirrored depending on the configuration. The Wm. McKinley movement displayed on the lookup page is an openface movement, while this serial number indicates a hunting configuration.
