Congratulations! That's a tough variation to find. Offered only in 1898.

Thanks George. I don’t think they get much nicer than this example.

Very nice, and with the aluminum horn to boot. Well worth the price I'd say. Congratulations!

Best,

Thanks to all of you for the nice comments. I was surprised that it didn’t sell for more, of the four that are in my collection, this was the nicest. I’m glad it went to a Forum member,

what does the XP stand for in the model designation?

Nothing, a modern label tacked on to the machine description to signify a nickel plated model.

thanks... no wonder I couldn't find it in any of the books. so XP as in extra plating? as opposed to NP for nickel plating? no matter. I've just been trying to find more information about this model since I found one myself last year.
