Research Note: Multiple Riverside Maximus grades have been reported in the 16,186,47X range. #16186478 has been verified as a "Maximus" grade. Waltham serial lists designate this run as "Royal;" however, the preceeding run (16,186,001-16,186,300) is designated for the 12-Size M1894 "Maximus." Additionally, the run following the "Royal" (16,186,601-16,186,700) is designated as "Ass't. Spec." (Assorted Special). It appears there may be some overlap in these runs.
