Question on Victor wood horn decals

[flashpanblue]

Hello,
On Gregg Cline's decal web site he offers three different Victor logo decals for wood horns. One has a blue background and the other two have green backgrounds. Can anyone tell me which decals were used on what machines. I have a Vic MS with wood horn. The previous owner refinish the horn and put on a new decal. Unfortunately I think he used the wrong decal. He used the red, black and white one which I beleive is only for the metal horns( see pictures). I also have a Vic III with a Don Gfell wood horn that I would like to put a decal on, which one should I use??
thanks
Pete

AFAIK, this decal was for Victor metal horns "only". It's also on the wrong side of this wood horn.... ????.

Here's the original decal on my mahogany spearpoint horn. Hope this helps.

Not so fast.... LOL

I have an original Mahogany horn on a Vic 6 and it has the black decal. No doubt about it as far as being original either.

(early)???

I guess they had some wild & crazy guys working the assembly line back in the day.

Apparently there is no absolute for this one. My advice is: whichever one you choose, make sure it is as close to the original as you can get.

Any other members have a wood horn with a black decal??

I have definitely seen black backgrounds on Mahogany horns. I am confident they were earlier horns, two of which (one that I owned) were the very early ones with the square edge rims. Not so sure I ever saw an original black background decal on an oak horn.Others may have input on Oak horn decals. Of which I have plenty but never w black.

Blizz, does your horn have a square rim? Which is often associated with Vic6 not Vic VI as the model designation. No I do not know transition dates and ser #s for each.....

You got something there. Yes mine has the squared off rim but the machine has the

Vic VI Serial No. 7395 plate.
