Think that we've seen this before.

Bad photos, but seems mostly OK to me (although hands are obvious misfits). Dial looks like it has been restored, but doesn't look like an obvious redial.

Is the 4 digit number on the case back correct for the Cadette? Is it a model number?

It (1156) is the model number and from memory it's Ok for a Cadette - although don't have references in the office.

it is the model no., seem to remember having seen 1156s, though Richter does not have them.
might make sense to ask seller for a pic of inside caseback to make sure the expected serial no. is there !
