A nice example....All original? Case looks sharp.
Lume ok too?

Pity there is slight damage to edge of dial between 3 and 4 o'clock.

Is the box correct for the period?

Thanks.

Looks good to me. To be honest I can't even see the damage he revers to. There is a slight browning to the printing between 3 and 4 but nothing that looks like a "bump".

Thanks David.

The 'damage' can be seen in the last pic (no . '11' I think) of the whole dial. If you look at the scale numbers 11 and 12 (next to no. 21 on the slide) between 3 and 4 o'clock there appears to be a slight bend in the dial. You can just see a little variation in the level between the black dial and the side rule .

Any ideas on the box?

Would like to see movement shot too...but not forth coming!

not too bad, on the other hand, lume and sliderule are truly exceptional.
