Besson Stratford

Anyone familiar with a Besson trumpet model called a Stratford? Never heard of that model - in a pawn shop some distance away so can't eyeball it. Just says "older model" . Help?

Have learned a bit more about this particular horn - also posted info on the ITG forum site. Horn made in Germany, serial number 322583 gold finish, MP with horn says 7-0 on it also made in Germany. In typical rough condition physically, a few dents in the usual places, valves work very well however. No specific dates of manufacture indicated. Besson site only lists serial numbers up to about 141K 1952, but this may be a different breed of horn than is listed on that site. Has origional case which is in rough shape, probably a blue/greyish color when it was new.
Any thoughts on this horn?

Informed about website that has all the serial numbers from Besson - indicates this horn dated 1966. Not worth dumping a few hundred bucks into in that case for a student level horn.

Quite the conversation you had with yourself.

We were all so helpful -- NOT!

I tried looking up the Stratford line, but the closest thing I found was a TROMBONE Besson collector. He had every line they produced, and the only one he didn't know anything about...... You guessed it...... Was the Stratford line. Sorry I couldn't be of any assistance, but am glad you could discover something about them.
