Could be a fun project. All the parts appear to be there except for fingerbuttons... and it wouldn't be a problem to use 'generic' ones. The only 'killer' on restoring these horns is that parts washed out many years ago with the death of Besson/Boosey & Hawkes presence in London. There is nothing out there these days that will work on these horns... except for parts from another one!

Seems like I get a call every month or so for parts for these things. I have none.
