I appreciate all the answers...and I'm kinda glad it's not a "rare collector's piece" because I really wanted to shoot it. All that being said, it is gorgeous. Can anyone explain the lack of phosphate finish on any of the parts? I know I'll get asked that question eventually. Additionally, since I posted my original question I received an email from the previous owner. He did buy the piece through the CMPicon (along with several others) many years ago. That all makes sense now. Thank you for the insight, and the help.
