Baritone, I'm pretty sure they never made a compensating alto horn, but I also defer to those with greater knowledge than I :mrgreen:

Looks like a small bore baritone, but... it is a 3v compensating model.

Definitely English Baritone. Look for the "double wrap" on the back side of the horn. That is how they get a Bb horn into the space of an Eb Alto. English baritones always have the "collects water and have to spin the horn to dump" problem kinda like french horns cause of the double wrap.
