Most probably the 50th Anniversary takes the same friction staff as the late V1 caliber. However, no one has managed to source these staffs. While there are staffs labeled for V1 caliber out there, they appear to be for an earlier version of the movement.

I have never heard of any parts sold by Gruen specifically for the 50th Anniversary caliber. Maybe they intended them to be sent in to Cincinnati for repair? It completely possible that the staff is unique to the caliber, but I hope not!

A picture of the 50th Anniversary staff would be worth a thousand words, since we have pictures of several flavours of staff for the V1 in various places on this forum. Much better than buying blindly and hoping for the best.
