Lee,

The horn has no numbers on it, no second valve trigger, and the thumb ring is brass over a plate that is nickle. The linkage is a type I've never seen before, where you can just pop the the little joints off and put back on. The bell was once damaged(wrinkled) and has a good bit of the lacquer gone from the bottom bow and a large spot gone on the bell beside the mouthpiece. This Rudy was at Dillon's for a short while where the previous buyer picked it up. Oh, and there's a well-worn original hard case with it, too. I'd like for you to see it, and to possibly shorten the leadpipe. It just barely comes to pitch with the slide all the way in. Other than that, the horn is a joy to play and just blossoms in a big room!
