These are standard fanfare trumpets made in 1967/8

They don't need polishing as they have a 'frosted silver plate' finish.

These are almost certainly ex-military instruments,..do they have any military or regimental markings or engravings?

There are about 8 instruments in a 'set'....soprano in Eb, three Bb's and four tenors.

They were expensive instruments,...a set cost the taxpayer approx £8000 in late 60's early 70's.
