| Description | Pryorphone: They did not stamp them on the valve casings. Look under the valve caps to find the serial number (if there is one).
In addition, one can narrow down the time period from the dates of the awards that are also on the bell. You might list ALL the bell engraving, and then we could help.
KimC: Wow! There IS a serial number there! It is not very clear, but it says 13432.
Thanks for that tip!
So, here ist he complete text on that cornet:
(in a circle):Medaille de 1re classe Exposition universelle 1855
Medaille Londres 1862
Exposition universelle Paris 1867
Medaille dHonneur
En argent

Thats all, quite a lesson!
That is why I ondered why there was no serial number, but now I have found it. Honestly I did not ecspect to find a serial number on a part that can easily be removed, or svapped to another instrument.
Pryorphone: Looking at the bell award engravings that Ive been able to collect, that puts your cornet between 1878 - 1889
