Besson Eb Cornet
 

F. Besson Eb Cornet Prototype Model
London, England

Serial #42487 dates this cornet to 1889. It had an old lacquer job and a few dents and bends but overall not a bad horn and complete. Thankfully, everything came apart without a problem which makes the restoration quicker.

First there are three photos of how I bought it then three of the finished project.
