Lange & Söhne, other firms such as Andreas Huber (Munich/Berlin), Wempe (Hamburg), and Alpina-Dugena (Berlin) were involved in the regulation and final finishing of these watches. The finishing companies signed the inner caseback. Case: very good, slightly worn. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
