1850 Baroque Trumpet

This is a baroque natural trumpet from the mid-19th century.  There is no makers name, but some numbers which have not yet been deciphered. It has a tunable mouthpiece receiver. The decorative ferrell hides the joint connecting the bell section.  Mozart and others arranged music for the baroque trumpet - employing the natural and harmonic notes which could be played by these horns.
