For sale on eBay UK, starting at £99.00. It's described as playing well but.... am I missing something?

I clicked this thread with great trepidation, and my instincts were proven correct.

That's metal, it's pretty easy to clean! On the other hand, is it a crack at tip and an other one right in the middle of the body???

And here it was I thought he might have come across a John Thomas.

That crack is very nasty ( cleaning and, if at all possible repair it will destroy any possible collector’s value, if this thing is interesting for anyone is “ as is” ) although it may only be on the plating alone and not through the metal under it. I doubt this thing has been played in a very long time. Having said this , I have payed on a couple of very old mouthpieces and they did play.

The guy says it plays great, maybe it does, I wouldn't want to blow it. I don't know what you would have to do to it to get it in that shape. It looks as if you would end up with a mouthful of metal shards. Maybe the owner posts here and can add some history.

if he is a player...which may very well not be the case

appearances can be deceiving but....those images look decidedly nasty....and the risk....not worthy of the taking....IMHO

Mouthpieces are strange entities - they can take heaps of abuse BUT....in some aspects...one tiny flaw will render it useless.
