Serial Number 809388 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: Nathan:
Same dealer, same emphasis on "Railroad Grade" also apparently using your website as a source.
Serial number 809388 is a 16S movement bearing what Hernick & Arnold describe as a "D (in split flag)" indicating that it is a grade No. 109. Hernick & Arnold state that this is a 13J or 15J movement, but this one has an upper center jewel indicating at least 16 jewels.
Nevertheless, the grade No. 109 is unadjusted and this movement is NOT marked "Adjusted" It is not adjusted to temperature, not adjusted to five (or any) positions and thus it is not railroad grade.
The nearest railroad grade movements are grade No. 105 (NR in flag) whose serial numbers go up to 808000 and (arguably) grade No. 106 whose serial numbers start at 815001.
