·The handset says late 1950's to me, more than that I couldn't say. Where has your research led you?

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerMaybe yes, maybe no. Watch may have been in the shop for 2 years before it was sold. I'd date it as "around 1940"

·Interesting, a pointer to the correct hand if available appreciated 👍
The two hands are mis-matched, one alpha (or tapered at least) and one baton. That's really all I can say. There doesn't seem to be any radium on the dial, so who knows if either hand is original. If I had to guess, I would agree with Luigi, that the baton style is correct, and maybe the lume was removed from the dial.
