Correct-period hands for this 1803 dial?




Could anyone tell whether the hour and minute hands are original to this 1803 dial? Thanks in advance!

I think those hands go with the so called Buckley dial.

BTW, that's a nice doorstop dial you have. I don't think a set of YG hands would be too hard to source.

Your suspicions are correct - the hands are incorrect.
