This rare horn is a copy of the "Geyer" Farkas played in Chicago.  It is everything one would expect from a "Geyer", open feel, smooth easy slurs,  easy high register, booming lows, and that magical "Geyer" sound.  The horn has great intonation, tight valves, and slides.  Cosmetically, it is a 9.9 out of 10, and could easily pass for a new horn.  It has only one barely visible pin point ding that I tried to capture in pic #3 & 4.  It is unlacquered brass in keeping with the original Carl Geyer horns.  Horn has the standard, like new, fixed bell Holton wood case covered in black cloth.
