You might have something pretty special. As with any horn it depends on how it plays. It is simple to figure out if it is a pre R13 by looking at the bore. All pre R13's had straight bores. You can buy a set of Telescoping Gauges to measure every part of the bore. There are other gauges you can buy as well to get exact readings without spending a whole lot of money, maybe $25. Fowler makes one but the Telescoping ones are cheap from Harbor Freight.

I knew Hans well and never knew of him making a horn. I studied repair with him. He had a horrible sound, but he was one heck of a repairman. He also repaired oboes and bassoons. His prices were very fair.

Be careful before buying it. I'm not sure if this is the real Hans. He had several relatives. This may be a cousin or someone. For example he had a cousin in Philly that repaired violins. The "W" doesn't ring a bell. I just don't know about this. He was always Hans. The "W" is throwing me off. Maybe other readers were aware of this.
