That’s a Delta 1600 series.
Heres the escutcheon
https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts/product/RP5883.htmlIts 6 3/4” in diameter.
Deltas tech support says any 1300/1400/1600 series handle will fit. I can’t say that’s true....,,.they have been wrong before.
The cartridge is a RP1991
The screws are Rp196

You might want to pull your trim off first to see what size hole you have to cover.
I’m not sure.....
You must use Delta. You cannot cross match valves with trims. Unless you find a generic (fits all) that works (good luck). Your best bet is to reach out to Delta and find out what trims you can upgrade to. With that being said, they have changed some things over the years. One valve body and cartridges are shipped with trims. Your old valve may not work with the new styles. Just be prepared for that news.
I’ve already posted the trim available from Delta. Handles too. He wants an entire new valve and trim. However in his original post he asks for trim.
Okay thank you. I reached out to delta and they were useless unfortunately.

The OP is giving vague info, not stating his exact needs, so he will get vague answers.
Hard to properly advise or help someone who hasn’t taken enough time to clearly formulate a readable and accurate description of their specific needs and intentions.
No offense intended.

And what shape of hole.
His current hole behind there could be rectangular, round, who knows?
That big round trim plate in the link has a round central part that is recessed, I think.
Perhaps you should of just skipped my “dumb” question and move along. I am simply trying to upgrade the shower trim/handle and wanted to find out a model that was compatible to replace the current one, Karen.

Ok, now I get it.
Based on the previous posts, and answers, it was unclear if you were trying to just upgrade the trim and handle, or wanted to change the entire valve behind the wall.
Good luck in your search, I hope you find what you need.

I don't think the OP was referring to your post.
The op is playing games.
It really doesn’t matter. Delta makes a remodel plate that would cover it.
Here it is.

I use them when I replace these in a certain neighborhood that clowns piped......
That's why I suggested looking before purchasing a round trim.
You use both. The remodel plate with the round trim on top of it.
Great look.lol
