Rotary VALVE and Piston VALVE. Hmmmmmm.....
I agree that the instrument in question may be worth much less than what it sold for, but saying a rotary valve not as legit as a piston valve is a serious error in judgement. I guess that you may not consider the instruments pictured below to have valves according to your post. Not only do they have valves, but they are some very fine instruments!
