Identifying an oboe?

Author: newedit617

Any idea of the manufacturer of this oboe? It has gold-plated keys and the top of the top joint looks flat, which is unlike the fancy or tapered top I usually see. You can see the oboe starting at 3:59: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYrj9jgxC8c - Berlin Philharmonic playing Elgar's "Salut D'Amour."

It's a Moennig oboe - either the Model 150AMG or the Model 155AMG:

Your knowledge of all things oboe never ceases to amaze me. Thanks, Chris.
