The instrument has no dents, but f the finish is normal for a 70 year old trumpet. It plays very well, the valves work freely without leaks. The serial # is 92609 and the markings on the bell are: E BESSON BREVETE 96 RUEDANGUDLARE PARIS. There is more engraving showing key (Bb) and some French words, But I think you can see it is a Real French Besson trumpet and every part of this trumpet is original.
