Without some kind of provenance it's just hearsay? No proof?
shorten the e-bay link to : https://www.ebay.com/itm/364021453234
Well, if it sells for more than the starting bid, I may have to strip the color anodizing off of one of mine, and sell it too!

Re: "Silver" RR-1 - Pie in the sky?
Like Mudhen used to say, never buy the story only the item...or something to that effect. For starters I see the needle is wrong as is the glowhead. Also if you give anodized parts a bath in Drain-O the aluminum will become a dull color, like the engine in the listing.
Re: "Silver" RR-1 - Pie in the sky?
Looks like it's media blasted, or lye soaked like Mark suspects. An RR-1 is always nice, and I would buy that one if the price was right. With the blasted surface and no chance to see what's inside, for me the right price would be more like $49.50 and that'd better include shipping too. But I am cheap

Yup, that yells "media blasted" to me. Something strange around the air intake too, the photo is a little out of focus but still.
Could be that the world has just gone crazy and our little gems are the "new gold". Look at these:

Looks like my "collection" (a couple of shoeboxes full) could easily pay my electric bills for a couple of years
