Aside from the huge size to carry, I see one more problem with this tuba:
The 3rd valve tubing is far too short, as there is no top loop (Conn style), nor a lower loop pigtail (Yamaha style).
Thanks for providing the illustration.

PS: the bell is anything but Besson of that era, but the leadpipe comes out of the Besson book, shapewise.
