Well, here it is, the 1859 Erard Grand Piano, Serial number 31173, manufactured in Paris. It's 96 inches long, a full grand. As you can see, the keys are a mess, the casters are obviously not original, and the brass is dull. It sounds terrible too. I got it on Ebay for $1180, and $600 to deliver it from Houston to Austin. It has a nice rosewood case, definitely bumped around the edges.

61428 looks exactly like yours except I have turned and slotted legs and the casters are original.
I replaced the rosewood veneer on the corners of the tail and across the front under the keybed. It has a deep horizontal scratch on the hinge side of the case which I will try to fix someday. danfahr@Q.com
