Opening the first cover on the back, you see above the Fahys name, the caduceus, and a hand-scribed number, S11159 or 511159, possibly from the watchmaker who repaired the case.

The inside of the dial cover has only the Fahys s/n. The back, which is even more worn, has the shield with (?) a house on a hill, with maybe a further hill with trees in the background.
