musicalmason is an unknown quantity at this point
Ive actually been watching that too. I can verify it is the real thing, not only because of the engraving but if you zoom in on the full trumpet shot you can see the two rings on the reciever. Its going to be interesting to see how high this one goes, the last chicago on ebay went for around 1500 and was in much much worse shape than this one. This one caught my eye when it was as 1.98 I knew it wouldnt stay there long, and I dont think its gonna stay in the triple digets for to much longer either. If you are very interested in this horn, I would email the seller and ask for pictures of the valves, I love my chicago but the valves desperatly need replated, stupid me I didnt chack the valves when I bought it, and I got to test mine. I still got a good deal though, these horns still play great with worn valves, it would probably be better if they were right though.
