Very small Moschino free bass accordion

Hello, All. This is a longshot, but I've looked at the Moschino threads and not found an answer, so thought I'd ask:
Does anyone know anything about a very small (25 keys and 15 bass buttons) piano accordion that is labeled "Moschino FREE BASS" on the box itself, like a brand-name logo? I won't get to pick it up for about a week, maybe two, but if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear about them. It says "made in Italy" but no other brand or factory ID. I've read that George Secor ordered a production run, but I think they were more full-sized. Anyway, a picture if it helps. My guess is it only weighs about 7 or 8 pounds, what with 2 octaves and two voices treble, and so few single basses.

Thanks!

At this size, perhaps it should be called the "mosquito free bass."
I have not seen one of these before either.
 
I can't wait...the older I get, the bigger the accordions become, somehow, so this has real potential for me to take out and about! And, yes, "mosquito" works, and the literal translation, I'm told, is "little fly." There ya' have it!

From the Italian word “Mosca”, meaning fly (the little insect).
