Well, I took out the "H" pipe and gave it a whirl. It takes the horn up exactly half a step. It plays a "B" with the tuner set at 432. The tuner says it's a B-flat when set at 460. Basically, it takes the horn from being really flat to being REALLY sharp.

As best as I can tell, there aren't any lines scribed in the valve slides, and it doesn't look like they've been worked hard so I don't think there were ever any lines scribed there.

Hmm...

I'll keep thinking...
