    Hello everyone,

    I was looking to purchase an early Ingenieur 666ad from 1954/1955 and had a
    question about the crown. I have owned 1960s Ingenieurs and the crown for
    those looked slightly different.

    This is the earlier fish logo, which would seem correct for 1950s but the
    crown looks more rounded than I remember seeing.

    Does anyone know if this crown is correct or a replacement? Thanks in advance!

    A few additional angles.

    Looks authentic and fits to that era.
    The fish symbol has been modified during the years.

    Thanks very much. I was used to seeing this type of crown, which is why I was
    unsure. This type of crown seems to be smaller than the one I posted above:

    Then again, I haven't seen too many Ingenieurs from the mid-50s, mostly 60s.
    Along those lines, does anyone know the earliest serial range for this
    reference?
