Actually , I have learned that all Gretsch trumpets were jobbed out to many manufacters. Mine isn't foreign made, as the country of origin is not stamped on it, like yours. Vary similar design to a european, though. The only clue, not much of one, is that the stencil on the bell says Chicago/Brooklyn, NY. Lots of info on NY string operation, but nothing on Chicago operation I can find.
