Sorry to hear about the crappy auction. You got it at a really good price, though, so I'd at least take it to a good brass tech and see what it would take to get it sorted out before I returned it...

If I have a repair person try to fix it and it still doesn't work right, I'll be obligated to keep it because I altered it from its sale condition.
Plus, the tops of the valve casings are slightly mangled, as though someone attempted to force the valves into the valve casings without lining up the valve guides!
I sure was surprised at how shallow the bell engraving is.
I had to hold it up to the light just right to find it.
The seller probably had to take 20 photos before the engraving would show up.
