Identified by the seller as Amati Kraslice,Czechoslovakia, which changed hands during World War II. Craftsmen in that area have been know for a tradition of instrument makers since the early 1800's. The leadpipe has been replaced, the original was stamped 'Germany'. The seller says this horn was originally unlaquered and has been sprayed with a coat of laquer. I don't know the age. It is beautiful and well kept, but a recent coat of laquer(date applied is unknown), could make it look much newer than it is.
