Identification of hidden treasure (PS 85 STV) ?

I just got a mint PS 85.
At first glance the code on the white buttcap said KWO.
After a thorough inspection under a magnifiying glass it reveiled it's true identity.
KWQ

Just to be sure: Is this a St Vincent for sure???
It has a bumper and a leather grip that shows some wear but is clearly identifiable as a Fairway. It says Midsize on the shaft and has a grip size sticker on the outside of the shaft and on the inside it explains the PWS system and shows the tension range.(50-60 lbs.
It's in superb condition, no primer visable, so I can not identify it from that.

Anyone please confirm my suspicions...:)

Has the market softened on the Wilson Pro Staff Midsize SV?

Hannah19 - you mind sharing how much with which you parted to gain your new frame?

I really got lucky on the German version of the big auction site.
I paid a little less than U$100.00 incl. shipping.

Adding some more info to make your mouth water, it's in prestine mint condition. Allthough the Fairway grip was in good order I took it of and replaced it with a brand new one. If I was'nt so darn honest I would cut out the string, clean it, put a Fairway tag on it and sell is as new oldstock with minor signs of storage for U$ 450.00.
But I will post it on the big site by the end of the weekend so all of you that are slightly aroused by the thought of this beauty alone, keep an eye out for it. Interested anyone? :)
