The two things that impressed me the most is the marble and the mask paddy. I like the IHC too. Nice find, BHB...
Those are nice. Your 1882 has nice surfaces like mine, but maybe a bit sharper detail. I forget, now. Gotta dig my MD finds album outta storage one of these days.
You have done well in your searches. I talked to my wife about getting one. She told me to get 3 estimates and we will think about it. I figured it wasn't worth having a fuss over it. I love the IHCs. I have at least one of each IHC except for the 1877 and I don't want to even mention it to her yet. I do have 13 doubles and 1 triple. Most of them look very nice and I have had a trip looking for them. All of them are RAW, but nice. I'll have to get some pictures.
