Min has those repairs about 3/4 of the way around. It is true that the repairs are perfectly smooth and seem to be of the same age as the rest of the horn. I mean as far as grain patterns, etc. In person the horn is not shiny at all, and has a couple of repaired seams, but all that patched in veneer is well done and not hokey. Actually, re the auction, it was up ten days and I was the only bidder, and did a buy-it-now. Perhaps I should have wondered why no one else snapped it up at that price.... J

What does the inside of the horn look like? Also, your horn has obviously been stripped and refinished. Look at the dark circle around the decal. If you got it off ebay, you got it for what other collectors looking at it were willing to pay. I don't know what Marty Roenigk is selling his for, but it appears all original, and should be substantially more than what you paid for yours.

Horn A is mine, Horn B is on sale by Marty Roenigk. Not the difference - his has staves without the patched in areas that are evident on mine. SO I take it that those long triangular areas on mine (horn A) ARE repairs, correct??? http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/Oak%20Horn/ Thanks!!!
