As the URL implies, it's a Bohm & Meinl 5500, which is a direct descendant of the bigger Marzan. The one in the photo was cut to CC, which seems odd because B & M did sell a CC version of that horn. They ran full-page ads in the TUBA Journal. I still use one in its original BBb form, and Andy K. in the Dixie Power Trio uses one with a graphite bell.
