The HMV decal on the horn, & gold paint slapped on the case trim. Otherwise the machine looks plausible.

2.) yes, wrong horn (probably the best thing of the set - Spanish HMV)
3.) Wrong elbow - Plumbing with taped end
4.) Home made corner columns

I'm sad
to see that shipping isn't available to the USA. Darn the bad luck. Now I'll have to forgo this fine specimen!!

The biggest mistake I see is....placing a Ebay listing in the wrong section of our forum....
.
The case I believe is a Paillard made. The rest is a mishmash of all sorts. From Swiss to German to Spanish to junk.
