I guess I wasn't too specific about this piece. But I have come to find out from a fellow collector at the Gaithersburg MD show that there were a few of these around over the past few years so that most likely it is not of any historical significance. (In short, a fake.) Oh well. It's still pretty neat and looks good, and fake or not, pretty scarce.
