The bell engraving reads top to bottom: “Exposition Universelle De Paris” “1900” “Hors Concours Membre Du Jury” “Couesnon & Cie Fournisseurs De L’Armee 94 Rue D’Angouleme Paris Chateau-Thierry” below this is a “pineapple” with the number “23” and on the bottom are the words “American-Perfection”. The engraving on the horn is crisp and clear. The artistry on this trumpet is beautiful, notice the double lipped bell. This horn is both a Bb and A as it can be changed via the rotor on the tuning slide. The lacquer on this horn is mostly gone so we are consider this a raw brass restoration. Please see the pictures for more details. There is a small patch on the back bow of the bell but otherwise no other damage. It has been completely gone over, hand polished and there is only light to medium wear over the entire horn. This Couesnon Bb/A Trumpet 1900’s Serial #23 was made in Paris, France and is in very good condition.
