The cover for the keys is the last picture I posted. The sticker was the only thing on there. I think I got everything but the board that covers the action. I don't know the names for all the pieces.

Mark, as I have said my wife and I do not play at all. She wants it a decoration. Our house is on a nice piece of land and is done rustic style.
