If I had a brass horn I would be on it. Looking for a silver one to match my horn.

Thanks!

Buy it and get it plated. You will be money ahead and it will look like new.

I hadn't even considered replating a bell. I'll have touch base with ASP for an estimate on that.

They don't come up for sale often. For that price one would be crazy not to jump on it even if it is the wrong color. I paid 700+ shipping for a silver upright bell, and then paid to have it stripped to brass to match my horn. Next time one comes up, jump on it! Or Kanstul may be able to make you a new, smaller diameter one in silver for $1200+.

I did just pick up a brass one a week or two ago. Working on getting some quotes to have it stripped and plated.
