Serial Number 3865486 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Possibly modified model 5 but with 3/4 plate,
pedant. 16s, 7Y open face are ok. I have not found
a picture of this movement anywhere else; so I
would be grateful for further information.
Curator Response: Thanks for posting the images. This is an example from the very end of production at Hampden before being moved to Russia. It is unclear whether the standard grade designations were applied to these late-era Hampdens.
