They are indeed, yes.

I've an 11" inch dark horn Latama from the same period as the black beauty, not stamped as such however. They weren't a standard production IIRC.

Come across 2/3 myself. Went up to $650 on one years ago up for auction. I lost by a few hundred $$$ :shock: :lol: :|.
Best regards, Hadson.
