Existential question on the Railmaster CK 2914.
Hello my friends,
I am doing my homework on Railmaster CK 2914, but I see sme controversial informations on the hands.
So you are my last resort...
The question is:
Do the hands on the CK 2914 have to be dauphine, or one of them has to be arrow?
I saw a CK 2914-4 with Dauphine hands, while I found the same hands on a -2.
Is there a rule there?
Thank you so much for your answers.
Best,
Nicolas.

I guess that it is a commun trait of membres of PuristPro.
They are all too modest. Best regards, George
Nicolas, it sounds like we are doing the same homework...
Maybe we should start a study group! Well, you know I am no vintage expert - but may I offer what I have seen so far..? These are the 2914-x that I have seen - not obvious been tampered with and with verified ref. Not that many but at least it gives a ind...
I've seen a bit less, but with many contradictory informations, and no ref post.
Thanks for sharing your observations, my friend! Best, Nicolas.
Both!
I am no specialist, just an amateur but here is what I found out. There is published evidence of both broad arrow hour + dauphine minute hands AND dauphines for both in advertising during the first short period when the Railmaster was produced. My observa...
Agreed – both.
I have images of original adverts for both styles, so clearly they were both used. Cheers, Tony C.
Thank you alot, Ztirual and Tony.
So, there is no specific rule about Arrow hands and -1, -2, -3 and so on CK 2914? That would explain why we saw both of this kind of hands. Thank you so much, it will help me on my hunts. To Ztirual: I completely agree with your criterias. Best, my friend...
