best guess way to describe the mfg. source, if your horn is the same as one you've seen branded "Lignatone" (meaning same ferrule style, brace style and location, same tubing wrap, same valve key design, etc...is..."Cerveny." "Lignatone" is a stencil "brand", and the groupings of various manufacturers know as "Cerveny" were also the source of tubas marked "Amati", "Walter Sear", "Karl Ziess" and lots of others. Perhaps my pal the resident photo archivist here has fotos of similar helicons?
