Re: Dearman trumpets

Dearman - Czech made D.L.G. Ets.; Czech-made stencil horns. (from Horn-u-copia.com)

"Dearman was the House stencil name used by J.E. Dallas (who went on to be part of Dallas-Arbiter)." (from saxontheweb.net)


Is there any engraving on the bell? Some of the pre-war saxes say "Made in Czechoslovakia." Or maybe "Foreign" stamped next to the serial number? There seems to be even less info on Dearman brass instruments than the woodwinds.

Where mentioned, the quality of the Dearman instruments seems to be high.

HTH,

Jude
