I am sorry for not keeping up with this thread...I have a local shop who's proprietor is my trusted guide in the world of collectible firearms...he had this piece in his inventory...he agreed to a sale price and I agreed to a buy price...I am sure he made his margin and I know I paid what I felt was a fair price...
I just hope next time he comes across such a piece, he keeps me in mind...I believe that many of the collectible pieces pass through the internal network, never making it to the advertised arenas...
Thank you all for the feedback and comments...a few months past the purchase, I am still thrilled with the piece...
