Description | NOTE: This is a fake. Not a true Besson
Engraved: Boosey Bessons & Co London WC H. 75983
The Bell engraving is not formatted as a Besson would be engraved.
The Bell engraving reads “BESSONS†rather than “BESSONâ€.
The finger hook is poorly and incorrectly shaped as well as in the wrong position.
The sides of the finger buttons are perfectly straight with sharp edges, Besson ones are slightly sloped and eased.
The tube unions lack and rolled ends in the places common to all Besson cornets of this wrap.
The valve slide ferrules are an older style not used on Besson cornets after 1890-ish.
The loop of tubing forward of the valves between the tuning slide and third valve is a slide on a Besson of this wrap from 1867 through well into the 20th century (hi/low pitch slides). This one is fixed as on an 1866.

Description | Owner says this horn may never has been played. "The instrument looks like its gold-plated, I swear.
It may be brass, but there is no tarnish anywhere, and it has never been cleaned or even taken out of the box in 40 years, so its hard to believe it wouldnt tarnish on its own! One of the valves is engraved: Besson & Co./Brevete/95103. The horn is engraved: Class A/New Creation/Besson & Co./Prototype/198 Euston Road/London, England/Carl Fischer/6 4th Ave., New York/Sole Agent to States. There is a "Gibson Girl" engraved on the horn area, as well as a bugler boy by the edge of the rim." |
