No one knows nothing about it.couple of people who replied from American Facebook groups were gobsmacked by it and one said a 3ft tall version recent sold for $20,000 dollars.no one in uk knows anything about it including Case top brass from 80/90s.no one in Europe knows anything either.someone in USA had seen the serial number but knew nothing more.even with Internet I can’t find any info
