Research about my Grand Piano

I did some research about my wonderful grand piano. I was amazed with the info I found.
I was given the piano as a graduation gift from my father, and when he got it they told him it was from 1913, but apparently they had no clue? Cause it was wrong.
I looked inside and the makers name is Carl Dörr, from Vienna.
The grand piano factory was founded 1817, by Daniel Dörr. My Grand piano was part of Melbourne International Exhibition 1880, we found a medal inside saying back to that.And when you google you can read about it. And that certain exhibitors where given medals in different materials, from iron, bronze, silver and gold. Mine was given a gold medal for its craftsmanship. The factory became well known and was a royal supplier, and also the Prince of Montenegro ordered from them. What a lovely history sitting in my living room. I never thought it was so old.
I am going to have it valued by an antiques specialist now.
