Serial Number 938695 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Curator: Please check this number in the DB 869318
for a comparison of the same movement with
different jewel count. Some of the images I find
for reference I do not own the rights to. Thx

Serial Number 938695 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Source: Hampden serial number list.
Movement is Hunting configured. Depending on
jewel count this movement is either…. 16j No.44
unadjusted, Model 2 ….. -OR- 15j (no grade
designated) both have nickel plates.
No. 44 18s 16j nickel plate, lever set hunting
run starts at s/n 936705 and appears that it
“might be” an upgraded jewel count gladiator
model. Movement markings are identical to
gladiator of the same run.
The last serial run I could find for No.44 was
962243.
No.44 movements were interspersed with grade 46,
65, 81, Gladiator and John Dueber Specials..
majority were OF configs.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
