Epigramophone is correct but I would repaint it for the same reason. I really like the humpback Victor II and I get tired of seeing nothing but Victor horns on Victor machines. A nice aftermarket horn adds interest to a collection. And that horn has nice dimensions for the Victor II. So if (and that's a huge "if") you have the skills to accomplish a nice repaint, I say go for it! You'll always have a repainted horn but it does not have to be one that screams of a repaint.The paint job is not original, and if you repaint it again it will still not be original. If it was mine I would keep it as it is.
I showed DeeDee the photo of the machine and as she looked I asked "If I came home with this horn would you expect me to repaint it?" Her very quick reply was "I hope so"!
