Correct horns for a 54 100

Anyone got photos of the correct horns for a 54 100? I always thought mine were original and now not so sure.

So help us out and post pictures of your horns.

FWIW Mike Salter made some new rings for the Altette horns for his early BN1 project. michael.salter [[at]] gmail.com

I don't have access to them as they are at the restorer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-LUCAS...TD-MGTF-MGA-TR2-TR3-SP250-ZA-ZB-/360597075387
they look a lot like these.

Were they normally painted black? I remember mine on my old 100 and most all horns I have had on.all my old British cars were black, but dont know if that is correct for a 100?

Anderson/Moment, p. 32, center column top: "The Hundreds were equipped with two Lucas HF1748 horns....were painted a light silvery-beige metallic color."

Peter Gigliotti of Walpole, MA does excellent work restoring these Altettes, although you have to be patient in trying to get ahold of him as he does this in his spare time:
