Early, I think second series, with LEFT thumb-actuated fifth valve that is shorter than the usual flat whole step. The clock springs were an option as I recall. I owned its identical sister before getting my current final-series six-valve model. (In fact, I wondered if this one was mine, but mine has replacement linkages and this one is original.) The longer fifth slide from my current one fit acceptably (not perfectly) in the older instrument, in case that unlocks an issue for anyone.

Pulled off the site...either everyone was waiting to snipe at the end or somebody bought it before it ended. Anyone here?

Someone local to that horn bought it.

Yeah I know the person.
She's changing this out for her wessex berg and got a pretty great deal on it.

a remarkably clever trade, in my view...
