The current movement is made in Germany by Regula. It is in working condition, but may need cleaning and adjustments to get the correct cuckoo and gong sounds at the correct times. I was able to adjust the pendulum length to get accurate times, but after shipping some adjustments may be again necessary. Also, cuckoo clocks are very sensitive to how it is mounted on the wall. Some adjustments of the pendulum and clock orientations will be need in the final location where it will be used. In any case, the value of this clock is in the beautiful wood carvings. The movement can be easily replaced is desired at a small cost. There is a wooden leaf carving that has been reattached. It is on the lower left when seen from the front. There is minor chipping on the edges below the bag. less

The wooden part is 29" high, 23" wide and 10" deep. The elaborately detailed game decoration carvings are excellent with fine surface detail. It is not easy to find work of such quality easily.
