5513 bezel insert.
Can anyone let me know what would be a period correct insert for my meters first 5513. It is a 1553*** and has an inner case back stamp v1 66.
I have searched and found conflicting opinions which suggest either a long 5 or a mk 3 fat font. Any thoughts appreciated. TY. image sharing sites |

Why is this called a long 5?? Is purely the length of the vertical line in 5??
