It looks to me as if Dr. Young is (practically speaking) instructing you to:

"Purchase a not-so-easy-to-locate instrument made in *England by Besson/Boosey & Hawkes in the **1960's. Determine in advance if it is in good condition, and whether the pistons have been (as they will almost surely be in need of it) rebuilt properly."

*or perhaps one of a couple dozen in existence made elsewhere
**Instruments of this type manufactured earlier may not be tuned to A=440. After the 1960's, very few were manufactured.
