---It may be better if one simply gets the serial no. or even the Brevette.
design that is used for an insignia... There are a good deal of older
instruments....some are not the age that the seller advertises as well.

As to instrument it looks pretty new to be of that age...maybe e mail the
seller and ask specific questions...I notice it has a low C mechanism...this
may not be normal for a F Basset of such early make. I now wonder what this
really is...?
