hello, john:

we have several readers who know a lot more about these BWs than I do, but let me give you some information, subject to corrections and additions by other readers. Also, you might want to peruse the BW section of OnTheDash.com, linked below.

-- It appears to be authentic to me, in all respects; early version, with the 3H marking
-- Engraving on the back is the usual for these BWs; no other engraving on the case, to my knowledge; maybe someone tracks the numbers on the back, but I do not recall ever seeing a registry or index coded to these numbers.
-- Movements were not signed "Heuer". see the scan below, showing all three movements used in these BWs.

I hope this helps; other readers may have more detailed information.

Thanks,

Jeff
