This story is just too true to be good. Not a match; on to plan C. BTW, the only visual indicator from the top side on the stud carrier is the hole: the Madretsch has a perfectly round hole for the hairspring, while the later (non-matching) movement has semi-circle with one flat side. Difference is visible in images above.

Here's a visual of the broken staff.

Also, thinking longer term of getting this into a CAD file and finding a CM. Such a simple design. Any recos?


My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
