I thought I would offer this here first in case anyone was interested.
It may be primarily of interest to those who are more heavily into UHF and microwave work.
It is a single pole double throw switch made by Radiall Company, part number R570012000.
It is for and has been used for switching between two uhf antennas and is low loss with three coaxial antenna
sockets on the outside of the case.    Operates on 12V DC.  Frequently used with hardline transmission line. 
For quite a few years it has been inside an aluminum box, mounted on a tower and sealed shut with
rubber epoxy.  It is in mint condition.

You can see more about this switch on Mouser's website under the part number.
Mouser sells two of these for $307 ( which is $153 each), so you can tell how efficient they are for the frequencies they
are designed for.  
If anyone is interested, I will let this one go for $85 shipped.
