That is maybe the largest or one of the largest Eb tubas I've seen This Cerveny Eb looks very similar. Report back sometime and let us know how it plays/sounds
FWIW I am currently restoring a similar Cerveny in F (with an Eb MTS and markings on the slide legs for the Eb slide).
I am curious about the dimensions of the OP tuba. Mine is 43" long overall with a bore of .817" (20.75mm). Beautiful, heavily engraved instrument.
American sailboats, airplanes, banjos, guitars and flutes ...
Italian motorcycles and cars ...
German cameras and tubas ...

Badges: The Cerveny F tuba that I have wears a pretty heavy NS badge:
Which is effectively identical to the badge on my BBb tornister but with a very nicely executed border. Both almost certainly before 1918 (end of WW-I).

Don't know what the bore is on the Eb but the length is 39" with 17" bell, 21" top width and 18" bottom width. It is similarly engraved at the valve connectors.
