Fid, I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!  These last pictures and description were spot on.  My problem all along was the fact I could not get the medallion out of the horn ring.  I guess 61 years of just sitting there had really sealed it in.  So I soaked it in warm water for 30 minutes, and then gently pushed down along the inside edge with a sharp knife, and presto!  It came out.  The best part of all?  The O-ring is in perfect condition, and I don't even need a new one.  Now I just have to remove the plate, etc., and screw the horn ring to it and re-insert the medallion.  As far as damage, I think everything is OK--miraculously.  Thanks again.
