I believe it was part of the Kunker auction I was looking at it as well

... either way, I'm glad that you guys like it

 

Thanks zumbly, normally I would not buy a reverse as rough/worn as this, but after realization that it's either this or nothing as have been looking for one for years. But it seems to have enough detail underneath the rough patina, might need a soak.
