A friend of mine brings some of the items here, including the Mahogany Victor spearpoint horn and the Victor VI cabinet and matching record cabinet repros. I was astounded to find they were repros. Out of curiosity I ordered a set of cygnet decals from the guy (he also makes digital decals like Glenn does) and they are amazing. He is a very friendly guy and is quick to respond to emails. He speaks very good English. If you are considering one of those horns I would recommend them.
