Numbers on plate tail are 29/3.79. Sorry, not much help in establishing the changeover date. Other details. 85 note. Left shifting action. Rosewood case. Copper wraps on singles. Iron wraps on doubles. Legs and lyre I'm pretty sure are not original, so I can't say about whether or not the pedal portion originally had metal face.
