Marked model or Serial Number “4029”. Also marked "USQMC"(United States Quarter Master Corps).
Info from a helpful Ebay'er:
"The ‘U.S.Q.M.C.’ engraved on the instrument indicates that it was originally ordered by the United States Quarter Master Corps, which purchased all the supplies for all branches of the US military. Your horn was purchased for use by a US service band. This marking is very common on instruments purchased for the armed forces from the late 1800s through the post WW1 era. Later on, instruments were marked with the branch of service, i.e. "USN" for the US Navy.
Kruspe horns are outstanding instruments, and their full-double F/B-flat horns still command quite high prices on the open market. The single-F models do have a following with players who are also collectors.”
We are not musicians and not experts. Please ask all questions. We can always send you more pictures if needed. We did not test or play this horn, as we cannot!
NOTE: we are estimating the box size! We probably can make the boxes smaller and save money on shipping. We will not know until we pack it. Not sure if this can be shipped internationally, the box may be too big.
