Looks like someone decided to paint the lines on the horn panel. It looks good in the photos, though.

No no no, absolutely legit. On mine the lines are more gold coloured. This wood horn is slightly smaller than the plain wood horn.

That's correct, the horn above looks identical to the one in the book!
