Here's one from my personal horn stash:

Ed. Kruspe Erfurt, wide engraved garland, rare straight .540" bore slide, bass trombone shank mouthpiece receiver. Tuning slide has been added. Silverplated. I added a thumb bar for ergonomics.

Original brass inner tubes with soldered stockings.

with hard case.

Bump

$1400

Price drop $1000 for this beauty

What's that line about halfway between the garland and the bell brace?

There is some metal reinforcement there, assuming it's very thin underneath but no splits I can see inside the bell, so appears to be preemptive in nature.

Also, here are better photos

Interesting horn! I've seen that "Schwarz"-engraving also on a Kruspe that was for sale at https://www.gebrauchte-blasinstrumente.eu/gebrauchte-posaunen/.

They was referring to that instrument as a "Kruspe Model Schwarz" when I was asking about it, but I've never seen any references to such a Kruspe model name before.
