Thanks Ciaran - it was a fun auction.  it is a 
wonderful item to start my collection.

I don't think it is bent - the way she has 
stored it sounds A1 and she seems very honest 
and has great feedback.

Any advice on storage - I was really wishing to 
frame it in a dark corner of my room for a 
while, and of course would not consider trimming 
or damaging it in any way.
