Hi:
John, many thanks for the 'heads up'. This old-timer that I bought seems to be of Germanic origin. The original makers name is overstamped and impossible to read. "Alfred Schadlich" is stamped just below the original logo on both joints and the barrel. The case has a label and the name is "Walter Schadlich". Yes, it could possibly be of French origin, 'adopted' by Alfred and Walter. :-))
However ...... I tried my favorite mouthpiece, and it fits the barrel nicely!!! Why I didn't think to try that is beyond me, but I thank you for the suggestion. Now it makes no difference what mp came with the horn, I can use 'French' reeds on a favorite mp.
I ordered white kid skin pads from Ferees today, so before long my new baby will be singing again! Thanks, John.
Regards, Joe.
