Default Hardy Brothers London

The case maker is likely to be Richard Neale of Coventry who first registered his mark in 1827.

I can't find "Hardy Brothers" listed in any of the standard watch books.

The watch is what is usually described as a English Fusee Lever.

By the way, do you know what the "act of courage" was ?

Regards

Dave
