For a number of reasons, and in a rare moment of restraint, I didn't buy this horn but I'm still curious as to what make it is. Made for the old established Paris musical instrument dealer, Paul Beuscher, this stencil is almost certainly by one of the French marques but which one ? The extravagant key guard is bit of a red herring as they, as you probably already know, were fitted to various French makes as an optional extra (I think)
Guesses are very welcome but it would be wonderful if someone out there actually has one engraved SML, Couesnon, Buffet etc. The bell to body brace must be one of the biggest clues. Thanks.
