Snap back should be signed?
In Response To: Re: Early Autavia - were all casebacks signed? ()

Snap back casebacks on second generation Autavias (2446C and 7763) was signed, but it is often polished away as the engraving was very "thin". (At least that is how I believe it was!)

First generation Autavias was always with screw back as far as I know.
