My guess -- it looks like a 186 CC, with a slide to bring it down to BBb?

Probably a 186 CC if the bell is 16 1/2 or 17".

15 1/2" could be a 185

14 1/2" could be a 184.

I built a conversion slide for a 185 about six months ago. Could be that horn.

My 1960 186 CC 5U came with the same slide. 16.5 bell with the side rotor. You have a great CC tuba once you take the slide out.

The picture perspective is a little off, looks like a 185 - nah probably above is right 186, to me and yes with the Bflat slide in. Take it OUT!
