1) my Holton was satin silver new - per Alex Cauthen (first owner)
2) it got buffed to mirror and re-plated shiny silver about a dozen years ago ... but you can still see some of the satin texture on the nooks and crannies around the valve block.
3) that Holton foto you were oogling IS a pretty picture, I think it was a really old horn before Joe started on it, HIS goal was to make it as close to one of the CSO Yorks in appearance as possible
4) My suggestion for your horn is have Dan buff it well, and re-lacquer it with an acrylic lacquer.

Best,

Phelpsie
