I recently started horn (about a year ago) and I want to identify it. It is old and does not have any name stamped onto it except for a short number code on the bell pipe nearer to the mouthpiece. The code is 58424. Most of the lacquer is worn off. Is there any specific little details that identify certain brands from others?

Popular models were copied so frequently, that it is almost impossible to identify. A picture would help, but might only in identifying the wrap. If it is a pretty unique wrap it may be narrowed to a few makers, though even some of the more unusual wraps were copied by at least a few other makers.

Okay thanks. Unfortunately, I don't have enough points yet to post a picture yet. I will when I get the chance (a.k.a points)
