Authentication Notes

Case

HighProbable

Pointed crown guards (PCG) date the early cases

Earliest 1675 cases have pointed crown guards; these transition to rounded guards. A rounded-guard case wearing an early serial/dial is suspect.

Dial

HighProbable

Gilt vs matte dial period

Gilt (glossy, gold printing) dials belong to the earlier run; matte white-printed dials come later. Mismatched dial-to-serial is a common fault.
