Message Body:

As I mentioned I will take better pictures later after I clean up this horn
(probably not till November in my schedule although I did already make a
replacement for the missing F# keyguard from a Superba pattern)...these just
show a couple of the features that convinced me that this horn was NOT a
Toneking/Superba...I sent these to the contact at Keilwerth for reference
after I first got the answer that you quoted. Then I got the new answer that
I forwarded to you today. This appears to be an originally gold-plated horn
with lacquer overcoat (although the lacquer is completely gone from the
engraving so I'll never know for sure about the lacquer), with varying
amounts of the gold and silver under-plate remaining. Most likely I will
strip the lacquer chemically and hand-polish the horn.

regards, jeff
