The ad neglected to say whether the horn is nickel silver or silver plated. My guess, and it's a total guess, is that it's nickel silver and I bet it is a terrific horn.

ebay seller wrote:Pitch - Eb, 4 rotary valves, made of brass, nickel - silver finish.
But there is no such thing as "nickel silver plated", am I right? It would have to be made of nickel silver, and/or plated with silver or nickel.

the description says "made of brass, nickel - silver finish."

Looks nickel plated to me. Yuck.
