Tomasz, Beautiful specimen which seems to have made a trip from Poland to America and back to Europe! Such an illustrious pedigree ... and a wonderful end to the story, back to Poland, repatriated! Congratulations! Cabin Creek mentioned in the description, doesn't belong in Vienna, and Kunz was a traitorous fool ... while working for the United States Geological Survey and acquiring CC under those pretexts from the Coronel, and, while he was also curator at the American Museum of Natural History, he sold CC out to Gunthof in exchange for extending his name in Europe and including getting an honorary PhD from Germany (which was later revoked), meanwhile at that time he was a founding member and president of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society. Hmmmm.
