And someone worked long and hard to ruin this horn. Guess it is less to dust.

You have to laugh don't you !

that columbia horn looks horrible, but we haven't seen how it was before the modification... I think it was shortened because it was too mangled so it was not good anyways.

And the base is OK ?

I wonder what "make reasonable offer" means to the lister? He/she will pay somebody to haul it away for them?

If this what living in Mount Joy will do for you, I'll take Baghdad anyday!

I can't say how bad it is just seeing a small picture... but if it was quite cheap and close to my place, I'd go and check it.
