Its marked with the navys "cats foot" (as they call it) type of crown and a number. A bit of gooling shows that this was used by the navy on daggers and swords at least.



While we're at it I enclose two pic of two chronographs - both with the standard three crowns - one called Sto ckholm and one Drott (the last seems to have a small compartment with spare parts like I have seen on some excelsior parks for swedish military. Value / rarity ? If one could have only one of these two, which one to take?

On the clock, I think up to $1500-1700 is reasonable. It might be worth more, but I simply do not have any price points to give you. I think this is a desirable item, but no one really knows about it.

On the pocket chronographs, I have had these in the past and they sold for $400-600.
