Hi OF, I found (only these pictures available) of this Conquest. Can anyone please identify the caliber and model (900x???)
And, more interesting: why are the two lugs marked? Any other issues??

I am tempted to buy 😉

(Or is this a " heritage-series" model??)

I really don’t think it’s a new heritage. If it were I’d be looking at getting one.

I’ve found these links on eBay which gives some information and suggest it’s a 1950s model

I think the case reference is 9024 and the numbers on the lugs should match those on the caseback.
It looks like a redial to me. This is how it should look

·Apr 9, 2023·Thanks, mystery donor!

No need for more photos, the dial has been terribly refinished. Run the other way!

Reference should be 9024, and caliber is 291. Below is an original example for comparison.

As noted, a poorly refinished 9024.
