Question
Do you know who made an Orpheus Trumpet/Flugel it looks a very old instrument
As far as old instruments are concerned records show that Orpheus was used by an unidentified company as a trade name, and also that Pollmann used it - but no indication that he used it for brass.
So, I'm afraid I'm not much help, unless there are some other indications on the horn.

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
