AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a vintage Besson wind instrument, manufactured in France.
Patent designation: 'Breveté S.G.D.G.', French patent without government guarantee.
The producer is located at 96 Rue d'Angoulême in Paris.
Designation: 'Systeme Prototype'.
Engraved with a floral motif and the inscription: 'Fernand Wilmus' – probably the owner's or engraver's name. The instrument is fully functional and produces a good, harmonious sound.
All moving parts are functioning properly. Kornet has a few minor dents, visible in the photos. It was originally silver, but the nickel plating has worn off over the years, and the instrument is now two-tone, which gives it a unique appearance that I have decided not to alter in any way.
In the set: a Yamaha case, a cornet-compatible mouthpiece, a sheet-music lyre.
Shipping by courier.
I recommend.
