FS Olwell Cocus 6-key Pratten Northwind Case + Cover

Perfect condition. Price firm. These have sold for over $10,000. This was Olwell's personal flute for a year and a half.
It's about ten years old. No splits, cracks, warps, etc. Engraved rings. Plays beautifully, in perfect tune, with great volume. The Northwind leather-covered case has always been carried inside a protective fitted case cover.
There is a ten year + wait for a flute like this. I believe that the lowest price they sell for on eBay is in the range of $8,000.
Buyer will pay for and determine method of shipping and kind of insurance. Registered USPS mail and $200 insurance to cover will ensure safe handling and no tax for international shipping.
My reason for selling has nothing to do with the flute itself. I need the money for another project.
At some point I will post pictures. Patrick Olwell will guarantee that I am legit and that the flute itself is genuine.

Very interested. Is the center section in 2 or one piece?
