Beautiful! That dial is a real beauty.

I have noticed that on the 157, there is three bridge arrangements. Actually, I think either afire or Cary pointed it out. The Gruen's have a full barrel bridge like in your other one posted today and then a reduced barrel bridge, like this one. I'm of the opinion that these were towards the end of the run for 157s as they are often marked "unadjusted".

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
