I think Zeroseries is enquiring about a 'Stratford' trumpet. It was not a "student" instrument,...it was mid range for Besson in it's era.

The "cornet" that you mention is a B&H 'Imperial' engraved with the 'stratford' name and made largely for the US market,...in England it was offered, but rarely sold, as a 'mezzo-trumpet'. it has little to do with the Besson cornet range of instruments.
