Some Marzans were made by Willson, some by Böhm&Meinl.

The B&Ms were generally the larger heavier models. Take a look at the brace flanges. If they're rounded, it's a Willson; if they're diamond-shaped, it's a B&M.

The Willsons are perhaps better-playing instruments than the B&Ms, but a fair market value for a 4-piston B&M BBb in good condition is perhaps around $2000. A Willson might run slightly more.

My opinion, anyway.
