Hej Mark 

Välkommen till forumet. Welcome to the forum. Hope we can help you as much as we can? Even though my experience with bent escapement pivot is not that big? I would probably replace it?

Welcome from me. Working on verge P W's aren't easy as a lot of parts are individually made. Switching to watches a part from the size shouldn't be to hard. You will soon find your way round. You will find plenty of help and interesting horological input on here.

Hello Mark and welcome from me,
You have joined, in my view, the best horology forum for help and support.
Enjoy,
Vic
