I can only assume that, in that fellow's lexicon, "Restored" means "put a replica horn on it"... :roll:

Around here, "restored" usually means, "it's been all re-done over"...


I remember one time being in a local convenience store getting coffee, and overhearing one of the regulars describing to his friend how "one time he was working on a band-saw and cut-off three fingers on his left-hand and had to go to the emergency-room to get them "re-sewn on".

( I almost axed him, "who sewed them on the first time"... but I was pressed for time, and I also noticed he was packing heat on his hip... :shock: )

Ah, the vox populi...
