<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4529170, member: 6444"]Looks to me that the case is from Birmingham, 1843 (U) plus another mark (V) from 1844 with the EW. See 925-1000.com. Edward Walker was in London, not Birmingham, so I would guess not his. Wonder if the case was repaired and two cases put together, thus two date stamps? Anyway, that doesn’t tell you who made the watch. The correct way to read the engraving is Improved Detached Lever escapement. I can’t see the fusee, but maybe it is there?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
