Recently found a 1982 Alexander catalogue. A US friend kindly has provided space for my scannings of the low brass pages.

There you can see, that your instrument is very close to the model 151 of 1982. However the bore of .630, that you tell of, would equal 16 mm.

Was it this forum that had a Gustav Holst quotation?: "If it is played with vibrato, then it is a euphonium. Else it is a tenor tuba."
