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 indication...
In total - 15 pieces.
2914-1: Big arrow hour-, dauphin minute- and straight second hand. (4)
2914-2: Dauphin hour and minute- and straight second hand. (1)
2914-2: Big arrow hour-, dauphin minute- and straight second hand. (1)
2914-3: Big arrow hour-, dauphin minute- and straight second hand. (4)
2914-3: Dauphin hour and minute- and lollipop second hand. (1 - I suspect the second hand has been replaced)
2914-4: Dauphin hour and minute- and straight second hand. (1)
2914-5: Big arrow hour-, dauphin minute- and straight second hand. (1)
2914-6: Dauphin hour and minute- and arrow second hand. (1)
2914-6: Big arrow hour-, dauphin minute- and straight second hand. (1)
The only thing I feel certain of is that it's a minefield out there...!
Hope you find yours soon!
Best, my friend

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...
