I'm pretty sure it is not an Olds. My concerns would be - 1) Is there a 3rd piston? 2) These horns were not typically made with a soldered-on bell flare. Has this instrument received so much damage in the past that a new bell flare was soldered onto the bell throat, and was it done well? 3) The seller says that there is no maker information on the bell. Has it been buffed that much in the past, to where the metal is really thinned-out? I could readily use it as a parts horn, but for anyone looking for a player, I'd just say - beware.
