The switch positions would be unmistakable if it was a Model 8. There were of course several other Avometer models and some people use "Avometer" or even "Avometer Model 8" as generic terms for any multimeter. I would take that to mean the seller doesn't know, or care, much about what they are selling but is probably not very realistic about the true worth of the article. A genuine seller would also show enough photographs for there to be no doubt.
Spare Avometer movements were supplied fixed by two countersunk brass screws, with wooden spacer blocks, to a sheet of hardboard with the whole assembly wrapped in cling film. The outer cardboard box was the same materials as used for complete meters.
