Default '62 Horn ID

We have one good horn off the '62 we are working on. How do you tell if this is a high note or low (it blows but I don't know if the sound is high or low.) On the back there are some numbers "900 12V" on one side and "01 K" on the other. Any help would be appreciated. Mike

FWIW, that's not close to correct for a 62 horn. To answer your question, it's a high note. There is an "H" in the circle above the Delco-Remy logo.

Whoops! That was the one that was on the car. A lot can happen to a car in 50+ years. Thanks for the info. It blows and we will probably use it on this non NCRS car.

I see the circle you mention but I cannot see that there is a "H" there (There is something there but it is unreadable to me). Did the low note horns have no circle at all?

The pic looked to me like it had an h. It would have either that or an L.

Horns for 62s had numbers 441 and 442 stamped near an outside edge. Not sure which side and not would have to check my books to see which number was high and which low.
