Hey all, been snooping around on Marktplaats, which is the Dutch equivalent of eBay, and I found this old valve trombone that I was interested in since I have a spare 100 euros thanks to Christmas. Does anybody know anything about the instrument or how much it might be worth? The link below has pictures. If you need some info that isn't included to get an idea, feel free to ask me and I'll ask the seller. Thanks for any help.

I will note that the final image seems to be of the bell section, and I can just barely make out that the bottom part says Vlijmen, which is a Dutch town. However, I cannot read the top part.

Have you seen this? Seems to be some info about the maker.

Thanks for the info. In the end, I managed to negotiate it to 50 euros. Since the valves work fine and there's no air leakage, and I just want it for fun, that's quite a good price.
