No dents or significant dings, tuning slides move freely, leadpipe in good shape, spit valves in good shape. Original lacquer 75-80%, valve plating 80%. This is a pretty cool model which had a relatively short run. The horn speaks up and down nicely, with that signature vintage Olds tone - dark, warm, and wide. It wasn't buffed, it is likely just due to the long-absence of lacq at the engraving area. Leadpipe, bellpiece, crook, and slide tubes all in good shape. We did some resolders of a few braces, cleanly and professionally done. Horn has been completely refurbished and serviced: chem bathed, hand polished, significant dents and dings removed (although she had no dramatic sorta damage to begin with, just your typical vintage trumpet wear and tear). Some typical scratches & spotting to the finish, as is usual on a 60+ year old horn. This was one of their top-shelfers.a legendary model (although you probably already know that if you landed here). Engraved: 'Studio Model - FE Olds and Son - Los Angeles, CA'.
