If you want it measured completely feel free in sending it to me. I will then send you the information along with other mouthpieces for comparison from this era as well as the present. This includes the tip opening, the facing, the bore taper, the chamber/baffle measurements which no one on the planet can measure, and I can come within 2 times thinner than a human hair in accuracy. Then you will have a good idea if he copied this from someone or if this is truly a one of a kind mouthpiece. Who knows you may have a very old Henri Chedeville or a Charles Chedeville.

A lot of mouthpieces during the era were never stamped. Even Chedeville's. So often people would have a stamp made. Based on the pics, it is not a Chedeville blank, but maybe it is better.

If you want to send it off insure it for about $1000 USPS. I'll ship it back the same day. I've never seen one so we should respect it.
