All Brass Witches Hat horn - How to tell if original

Post by CylinderFan »

By other threads on this forum, I know how to determine if a Black/Brass witches hat horn is original or not...

But, how do you tell if an all brass witches hat horn is original? Here are two that I am wondering about.
I think they are reproductions, but am not sure...

They are repros. The main give away is how the bell fits INSIDE the cone.
