Kruspe? Did you say Kruspe? That *could* be a nice horn, given a lot of
variables. Can you describe the horn? Is it a double? Can you describe
the inscription engraved on the bell? There should be an eagle holding a
horn. Depending on its age there could be additional inscriptions that
would give a clue as to its real age. Is it brass or nickel silver? In
any event any horn that's a Kruspe deserves to be looked at by a
qualified repair person familiar with German horns. As for value: it
could be from $0 up depending on a condition and other factors.

Could anyone give any insight on a horn that an acquaintance is considering to purchase?
They are told it is about 65 years old and about to be evicted from an attic. Last played
about 10 years ago and was serviced at that time. Its markings read "E O Kruspe"
Also any ideas on a fair price? Or just skip it!
