OK, Time for the museum curator to step in! The General has been under "preservaton ownership" for many, many decades. I believe since shortly after the civil war, although much of that time was as a "relic" of the railroad that owned her. So, my question is; How did this guy get this piece? Is it likely to be stolen (even if not by him), or likely to be an early replica? I don't have any of the answers, but you can see that IF it is stolen, then the current owner should return it--IMHO. I doubt the current possessor has much money tied up in it, certainly nothing near the opening bid! S' David D.
