unsigned is correct for early pieces, but bridge form is atypical, it is the early shape. let the seller send you a pic of the outer caseback to date it.

Fred has already told you (multiple times) that it is OK, you don't get better endorsements than that. He has also told you that the price is a bargain.

still authentic; bridge highly atypical for a 1946 piece; subdial hands seem to be replacements.
