Having seen at least 3 maroon horns that are painted over black that I am 100% sure are original I have no doubt they are for real. In fact, the maroon horns with black paint underneath look better as the maroon paint remains much more intact than on the horns with the maroon paint directly on the metal. The decals are correct and the paint is obviously original. I have also seen two maroon gem bodies painted the same way. I'm convinced they are more rare than the normal maroon gems and are a good thing to have in a collection. They look fantastic and original in every respect.
