I know nothing about these instruments, so the following is just my observations. The bell has zigzag bands in it as shown. I am not sure if this is supposed to be like this or not. All three buttons can be depressed. One seems to be a bit sticky, but they are definitely not locked up or seized up. The mouthpiece is slightly bent. There are other various small dents and dings and it shows oxidation and a vintage patina. No cases included but I will be sure to package it very carefully with plenty of bubble wrap and foam for safe delivery. It will be packaged in a heavy duty box. all sales are final so please carefully examine the photos and if you need additional photos, I will be happy to provide. Lower 48 states shipping only. What you see is exactly what you will receive.If you plan on bidding for this item, please make sure you have the willingness and the ability to pay for it in a timely fashion when the auction ends respectfully. Thanks.I have been told by professionals that this would be a excellent candidate for a full restoration. I was told there is no heavy creasing in the bell, so that would be a relatively simple fix to straighten it out. I do believe this would be a very valuable instrument upon completion of a restoration.
