Hi Steve, I didn't know about the differences between the column bases and capitals. I haven't really seen another Victor VI as far as I know there aren't any others here in Australia.

(I have both the #24 Brass and the #31 mahogany) Cheers, Mario > Steven Medved <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Mario, > > It would put it too early to have originally come with the Brass horn, > but not for the original owner to have updated it.
