Here’s a 1922 ad that shows what looks like this movement (or a variant), but with the diamond denoting “Extra Precision” 313091056994

I think it is the same movement as in Liz’s 1921 ad she posted in the 849 thread, but I never noticed that detail. I say it could be a relative, because there looks to be some variance in screw location or sizing & I’ve found no reference to the 861 being EP grade.

Anyway, it’s a verification that the EP stamps were in play here in 21-22. And my Guild version above has pre-1922 tariff stamps. Is there another “Factory L” movement out there to be discovered?

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