Those valves make that a very old horn indeed. Those funny looking valves are "Berliner Pumpen", invented by no less than Wilhelm Wieprecht hisself.

Could be about 1840-1870 or so.

Then again, it may have been rebuit to be more "conventional" with only three valves in the modern layout instead of 5, a "normal" modern tuning slide wrap, and a wider-flaring bell... :shock:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
