Yes Breguet overcoil, and A is OK, the damage is from B to the end. It should look lile this. The studd is fixed by the screw head into the cut. -
I opened up a 17 jeweled Swiss made movement only to find it has a pin pallet escapement. Not sure where the 17 jewels are but they ain’t on the pallet fork! Tips for lubrication?

OK, I have 'rectified' the hairspring on the image to show how it should look like. -

This is more complex than a standard pocket watch owing to fact it has 2 driving springs. A mainspring and a smaller spring that acts directly on the escapement. This direct spring provides a more constant torque helping to maintain isochronism and doesn't suffer the energy differences that a mainspring does delivering power through the gear train. The mainspring keeps the escapement driving spring wound up. I have one very similar to this, i wouldn't disassemble it until you are ready to. -

Hi as said by @oldhippy it will need to be drilled out. Try usin£ a drill bit in a pin vice, it will be slow but doable. The other way is to drill from the out side of the lug a nd plug and polish when finished.
