177. APW - Elgin, very rare grade 544, B W Raymond with white enamel GCT 24-hour dial, US Army AC plate marking, hacking feature for sweep seconds, 16S, GF OF Keystone SB&B RR recase with no military markings, SW-SS, rare true 24-hour WED marked GCT, fully capped lever escapement, 22J (although only marked 21J), Invar balance, ribbed pattern NI damascene, s#39516437. The Elgin serial number list shows a total production of only 200 of this grade, making it the second most rare grade Elgin produced, while similar to the grade 478 with regular balance (184,500 produced) and the grade 581 with solid/white balance (20,800 produced). The NAWCC Bulletin from April 2002 has an article showing a table of 22J B W Raymond grades; the type of balance and type of barrel for this grade is left blank, apparently for lack of a known example to study. This example has an Invar balance with long overhang, similar to the Guillaume balance with cut in rim of the bi-metallic wheel some distance away from the balance spar. There were two lengths of overhang used, this being the longer one. The present example has regular non-motor barrel. The Army may have rejected this grade for some reason, or a lower cost or better performing alternative was found, accounting for the low production and possibly explaining the civilian casing.
