I came across this alto as I was wasting time on eBlay. It is a Viking but not the Rich Maraday brand. It's much older. Any idea who would of made this, a stencil perhaps? The pics are pretty clear.

It looks like a buffet stencil, kind of like an evette - never heard of it before, though!

That DOES look like it could be a Buffet stencil, that's really interesting. That might end up being a really killer horn.

Not sure, but it looks more like a Malerne to me.

Keywork is typical of Italian maker and does look like the Evette that was made in Italy.

I think we have a winner. Here is one that actually says "Italy".

Aha, cool! Well, Italian horns can certainly be fantastic. I'd be curious to try one of these.
