I like how the main slide tube passes in front of the dogleg coming out of the valveblock, rather than behind. Interesting horn!

Yeah, lots of surplus prewar stuff. Maybe they have access to the Kaiser's secret stash.

This has adjustable clockspring tensioners, like on my Alex. Probably from around the turn of the 20th century.
