Hi Al, OOOHHHH THAT ONE....and I sold this to you????? I must have been drinking, can I buy it back please? Just Kidding. It is a beautiful piece, it actually came from a collector in Italy. It's a long story, Ebay did not exist in Italy back in 1995. They had a Italian Auction house on Line, ( IBAZAR.IT ) which gave me a lot of oppourtunity to learn Italian, However, the final result was worth it I belive. I think you would agree.......Joseph.
