Looks like East Germany, could be wrong, maybe pre-WWII. Photos: <GOOGLEDRIVE id="1KVD2LcG9tTNVZC1uwgOmdQ9nCnNahcu7"><LINK_TEXT text="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KVD2L ... 9nCnNahcu7">https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KVD2LcG9tTNVZC1uwgOmdQ9nCnNahcu7</LINK_TEXT></GOOGLEDRIVE>
Got this off craigslist a couple of years ago. Relatively clean, valve works, ergonomics are BAD. Hand-bent valve wrap and tiny valve blow surprisingly well. Old-school soldered stockings on raw brass inners. Wide Kranz. Has tuning slide. Condition is rough throughout, lots of split tubes, but no leaks. Slide action is surprisingly good. There is a tear in the bell underneath the Kranz, this is shown in one of the photos.
Not sure how to price this. Best offer (+shipping) takes it. Buy it with the Cronkhite bag I have for sale and I'll buy you a German beer.
