Hi Sid,

Aren't the oddballs not more interesting than the textbook examples? For me for sure!

In a honest world I'd go for oddballs for sure. But in a world where dealers and other dodgy folk interfere with pieces to add value and make a quick buck it's a hard no from me I'm afraid. I""ve been burnt before so am not prepared to lose further. Frankenstein pieces don't interest me. Not saying this is one but the jury's out it seems.

It came to my friend in the shown condition and I trust my friend when he says that it had been "installed" this way for a long time.

Interesting comment. Not sure why you want to stifle opinion and discussion but it seems an odd thing to say.
