This trumpet has a BEAUTIFUL engraving of 2 Feathers crossing on the bell as well as some additional scroll work and the company and model name. 

Valve compression is GREAT. Valves are utilizing bottom springs which seem to work rather nicely, they are the original valves, but the original springs were long gone before I bought the trumpet.

Trumpet body has a few shallow dents along the bell section and bell tubing, a very slight bend on the bell edge, and the 2nd slide also has a slight impression in it. 1 of the bottom caps was lost when I first bought the trumpet a few years back and I replaced it with a similar style, but it is silver in color. There may be some additional scratching or the occasional VERY VERY small ding it. Please look at all the pictures and judge for yourself. 
Bore size as measured from the 2nd slide (inner diameter) is 0.46 on my digital caliper

This baby is built like a TANK. SUPER solid construction!
I've played it and it hits everything from F# below the staff to High C above the Staff (that's about where my range stops. . ..)

I personally removed what was left of the nasty brown lacquer on this trumpet and made it completely Raw Brass. I have a few pictures below to show you "Before" and "After".

It has been ultrasonically cleaned and is ready to be played.

Comes in Generic Case

All slides and valves move freely and all caps unscrew.

Please look at all pictures to judge the condition for yourself.
