Serial number indicates production in 1957 according to published serial number lists. This is a high-quality instrument suitable for use at the horsetrack or for ceremonies where a high-class look is called for. Construction is yellow brass with nickel trim, with a copperplated receiver. CONDITION: Very good overall. Original lacquer finish shows about 5% wear, mostly chipping and small patches of loss on the valve section. There is a bellrim dent, with some loss of lacquer. Any decent tech could repair this dent easily. The valve pistons are in excellent condition with no plating loss, very little wear, and only very minimal blow-by.
