HAS VERY NICE ENGRAVINGS ON HORN AN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS HORN MEASURES 7.5 ACROSS END
I'm assuming that one number is on the slide section and one is on the bell section. I believe that it therefore dates to the early 1930s. As to which model, I suspect it may be the LM7.5, but you may want to check it against my model chart. http://www.horn-u-copia.net/Reference/Productline.php?maker=Olds&instrument=Trom...

Expertise
Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.
Experience
I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
