I think that is indeed the original finish....

It looks like the legs have aged differently from the rest of the instrument.

That had occurred to me also - and may very well be the case (no pun). However, it appears to me that the case *may* have been refinished - the legs have several blemishes whereas the case seems pretty pristine. I dunno! suave

It is. they had no warning the fire was coming, literally just happened to wake up as the fire was approaching at about 2:00am Tuesday. They had enough time to leave with four photo albums and the clothes on their backs.

They live in a really nice neighborhood - large homes on large lots. Every house surrounding them was virtually untouched. The fire either jumped to get them, or a narrow finger reached their house through the brush, it's hard to say.

I'm going up to help sift rubble as soon as Altoid's back in school.
