Hi the second one in reading right to left looks like it but the titles suggest that it is either a Voight in Eb or a Kallison in Bb

Ditto. Would also be curious to some of the basic dimensions, if possible. The perspective of the picture intentionally makes the bell look larger than I am sure it is.

Thought to be from the 1960-ies. Went out of fashion because Italian scholars found it too widely bored for early Verdi. A. Fossi uses it for Puccini.

Enjoy
