Late 30’s Silver King Wingbar-speechless

A fellow bike addict stopped by and invited me over to see his Father In-Laws bike. He had described it before, and I had no luck searching for it on the internet with just a discussion.
Well I went to look at it and it left me speechless. I am hardly ever short on words, but I just stammered looking for words for this. I was just amazed at the construction.

They asked me if I knew what it was and I was stumped. I have found a few pictures of a similar one on the Cabe. It sure looks like a late 30’s Monarch Silver King Wingbar but they would like more information. I said the C/Vers would have information or know where to find it, so I am going to send him a link to this thread.
Some of his questions were : how to adjust the seat post, How durable is the cast aluminum, should he ride it or just hang it on a wall

Well a pictures worth a thousand words:
