I have traced mine to 1910 - 1918. Does medalion say Bohema(sp). If does then it was made well before the WWI. The metal is very soft and can be bent with your hand. My bell has had some problems but my tuba repair guy with so that i've never thought of replacing.
Great sound. I've only had to replace one spring in over 40 years in owning the horn.
When I played with circus Jonny (long time tuba player with circus) know from the sound it was Cerveny.
Thanks
