Guys, rest assured that I'm in no hurry to "pimp my ride." It's not going anywhere and nothing is going to happen to it. After the last three weeks it's nice to just sit here and look at it. Right now my plans are that I have no plans.
My only course of action at present is that I'm trying to document the chain of possession. The owner during the last approximate 60 years is alive and known to the sellers. The original veteran who acquired the piece from Europe may or may not still be around. I'll see what I can find out before it's too late.
And I would like to offer some corrections if I may. It's doesn't look terrible and there's nothing wrong with it. It's quite beautiful in it's own way; I wouldn't change a thing.
