    Thank you Edward, so it is a Dino. Is the horn button real?

    Regards, Alberto

    Hi Alberto,

    I am far from an expert in such things, but since no one else has chimed in...

    At least for a Daytona-era button, the low level of detail seems odd to me. For example, at the "chin" there is only a single line:
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    As opposed to three:
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I don't know what the range of different buttons might have been on earlier cars, but looking at a few on-line pictures, 250s of various sorts seem to generally have buttons with more fine lines in therm.

    Just a casual opinion...
    Alex

    Thank you Alex!
    Great information...
    I wonder what the backside of a real button vs a non-real looks like...
    Regards, Alberto

    As is often the case, curiosity got the better of me, and I started poking around on-line more, and that button looks like it is probably more modern than the wheel, but perhaps a real Ferrari-sourced part.

    My 308 is in storage, so I don't have access to check what it has in it, but here is one from a 328:
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    To me, this looks very much like yours.

    Cheers,
    Alex
