B&S CHALLENGER 2 - 3137TC Thierry Caens - Trompette Sib

This is a new Thierry Caen B&S Bb trumpet in Lacquer with case. Purchased directly from the B&S Factory before Buffet Crampon bought the B&S Brand. I have been twice to the B&S Factory in Markneukirchen and we have a great selection of B&S Cornets, Flugelhorns, C & Bb Trumpets which I will gradually sell one at a time and post more photos. Here is the description of the trumpet from the B&S catalogue:
