Here is a classic french ANTOINE COURTOIS PARIS brevete model flugelhorn. This horn is silverplated and in good condition.

This vintage brevete model was the top of the professional Courtois line from the 20ies to the 70ies of the last century - the choice of many famous players. Maynard Ferguson used to play exactly this model before he was endorsed by Holton in the 70ies. A.COURTOIS PARIS and the valves are numbered .Valve Bore size is .410 of an inch (10.5mm), the bell diameter is 6.1 inches (155mm).
The valves are smooth and fast with good compression. All slides and screws are free. The brass alloy of this vintage horn is still of superior quality .The horn has very good original silverplating .Carefully look at the photos. There are few dents, but some minor dings and scratches on the surface from normal use.
The case is original and in good condition, but it smells a bit musty after all those years.Good luck!
