Warren Deck Mouthpiece?

I have heard what sounds to be an "urban myth" about the 10 lbs mouthpiece known as the warren deck mouthpiece.

a.) Does anyone know if this is true
and
b.) Wherer do you find it?

and what are the qualities of it?

Here are some photos of the shop Master of the Warren Deck 2 mouthpiece. It is good sized and weighty but hardly of mythic proportions. It feels a lot like a PT50 to my lips and offers a dark sound with good projection. The LOUD LM-5 would be as close as you can come to a Deck #3 currently as Dave Houser made the Decks as well as the LOUD that is based on it.

I used a friend's Deck #3 mouthpiece on sousaphone back in college. I had the most piercing sound with that thing (which is either good or bad, depending on who you are).

The mouthpiece was already quite banged up, so he and I had no problems with me using it out on the field.
