Those photos have been used on TubeNet in an ad fairly recently, as in the past year or two. It is probably bogus. Due to the listing as a new instrument, I would report it.
The DS also looks like photos from a TubeNet ad from only a few months back. But I do not know for certain.
If they bother you, ask the seller for photos of specific parts of the horns up close, or at least from angles that are not already shown. If they cannot do that then they probably do not actually have the horns. If one ad is a fake then so is the other, most likely.
I am certain that these are both fakes. But that is just my skewed personal perspective...
I remembered the DS. I reported it to ebay because the ad spoke of moving to Las Vegas but selling from London, Eng. They seem to love to list that horn.
