Ah, the power of punctuation! Another way to have captioned this thread:

The Martin factory kept an example on hand as a "template". Perhaps this is one of those.

The seller has a *ton* of pictures posted in his ad. It looks like the major fault is the missing pistons. Everything else in pretty good shape.

Missing bits too, i thought?

York-aholic, looking over the article, i was wondering if the prototype for the navy horns was ever played?

I guess i should read the article more thoroughly before asking, but i's lazy...

Thanks all for the commentary!
