1942 Arnold by all indicators. Nice domed crystal and slight curvature of back. Very minimal case wear with no brassing. Some toning of face and loss of minute markings around perimeter. Keeping perfect time. Odd mark on caseback in photo is a piece of fuzz, not an abrasion.
Agree with Arnold, I´ve similar one

Hi Jabs, I looked at yours and all others in the database; and also at "Normans " from the same time frame. Interesting that there appears to be 2 faces used (based on the bottom of the "2's"). It seems that mine has the 1942 Norman face that then re-appears in later years on the Arnold. Yours has the sculpted bottom 2's, mine has the flat. Which model name came first, any idea?
