• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

This is a 12s Illinois that I have not seen before. Davy Crockett ??

Serial # 5287164 dates it 1929, surly finished in Springfield before Hamilton took over everything.

Model 1 Grade 279, of which 16,000 were made. 21J D.R. Adj.3 Pos.

Gold Center Wheel and large raised Gold jewel settings.

The case is near mint, so it spent most of it's like in a jewelery box. The case back is so tight that I have trouble opening it. Made by Star in 14K White Gold Filled
