Bona tarda Paco,

Yes, you have the correct speedo.  I have a 1953 lhd that was exported to
Guatemala, so it is in KpH.  All of the numbers on the dial are the same as
yours.  Hopefully yours is in working order, if not just get it refurbished
because from the picture it looks to be in very good condition.

Adeu,

Hi all,

Thanks for all your answers...

In fact, after reviewing the different parts available on e-bay, it 
seems to me that my current speedometer may be the good one already! Can 
anyone tell me if this photo looks like the original Jaeger part in 
kilometers for 1952?

Thanks again for your help.
