Oops, I think you are correct! (Daaah, mahogany would be a finer grain). Sorry for my mistake.The horn is dark and reddish and that is what confused me. Anyone interested in a dark reddish original OAK Victor horn? Thanks for setting things straight. The price just dropped to $850 plus packing/shipping.Contact me off list if interested.
