Re: Besson Class A Prototype

Could someone give any more info about what this is? I'm interested.
It is a Besson "short" model baritone.
From the "50 Medals of Honor" it was made no earlier than c.1890.
"Prototype" describes the method of production of all their brass instruments.
For more info see Arnold Myers' and Niles Eldridge's monograph at: http://www.vintagecornets.com/English_Besson.pdf"
