Well, I've finally had a chance to look back at some earlier sterlings--I think you're correct in your dating here, Matthias. And my 1920 theory is DOA. I see the jumble, Barney! If there's sense to be made of the case sequence(s), it'll take a lot more digging.

I also recently saw a much earlier "2 adjustment" Caliber 100/101. I had heard in a past thread that this layout of the 100/101 was introduced in 1920 or 1921. But it appears to have been introduced earlier, possibly going back to 1913-1914.

So movement I'd agree is original, both case & movement earlier than I'd thought and in line with the OP.
