On the hammer rail there is a decal that says "Staib-Abenschein, Mastertouch." This has a letoff scew adjustment in the middle, and the escapement is at at stop rail (reverse of what a "normal action" does). The top acts as a backcheck, and adjusted at the hammer butt where there is a screw and button. In fact, the only wire bending is at the damper spoon! Ingenious as it may be, it is also rare. I need about 20 jacks. Any ideas?
