I saw it, and I also do not know. Here's the contact info from "The Besson Loyalist" site. But I bet you have that already:

It looks like a C but with the short lead pipe I will guess it is a D.
It wouldn't surprise me if it is an Eb. Hard to tell exactly. Is it safe to say it is not a Bb?

Just based on the picture, I was guessing it to be even higher - maybe an F trumpet. I don't know anything about it, but found it interesting. I live nearby and spoke with the seller about playing it to determine what key it is in. If they are available, I may try to do that tonight. I'll post whatever I find out just so we can learn something.

As promised - I went to check this horn out. I was dead on with my previous guess. It is in deed an F trumpet. And, just to make sure that my ear was not tricking me, I double checked it with my tuner. It is in good shape with no noticeable damage or repairs. The valve are sluggish, but in good shape. I expect they would be fine with a good cleaning and oiling.
