It has a 7" gold-washed bell and was made without a slide lock or threaded connecting nut. The slide is taper fit to the bell section. There are a few minor dings on the bell section and the end of the slide has been soldered a bit crudely, though it is solid. Original case and mouthpiece, which is stamped 19.
