What would you do?

Evan -
My investigation would begin with me contacting the auction house to discuss my concern. Ask them to explain to you what their decision was as to why they didn't include all information on the item before putting it up for auction. It also sounds like you already have some other contacts involved as well that are familiar with this piece. Getting them involved would be in your best interest to. I would put no time limit on finding the facts before sending funds. If this auction company has any sort of reputation they will understand and should back you 100%. If they don't I think you'll know your answer pretty quick on where you stand as a customer.
