Chuck,
According to Kutsenko there are only four pieces known to exists in the CIS, both in museums and in private collections, so yours is most likely one of the four. Out of them only one is serial numbered. I hate to use the word priceless, but you certainly have a real trasure in your posession.
BTW, when they published the Avers-6 they didn't have access to a genuine piece, and had to photograph a copy.
