Question
I think this is the serial # 05007 there are also 2 other sets of numbers 076 and 975 could you tell us what they mean and if possible the value of this horn.

Answer
Cavalier was a student line of instruments made by Conn. It was actually a second line under Pan American.  But it appears that the serial numbers for Cavalier and neither Conn nor Pan American match up.

Being a student line, they do not command a lot of value.

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
