Sarrusophones for Sale!

Both instruments are being offered by a collector in Germany, and are expected to go quickly!  I received the photographs yesterday (11/17/98).  He has not set an asking price.  If you are seriously interested, please contact me and I will give you the contact information (I prefer not to post his telephone number, lest he be deluged with calls).
Here  are the horns:
1.  A Gautrot Marquet sarrusophone, which appears to be an Eb baritone.  The bell engraving says "Gautrot Marquet, brevete s.g.d. a Paris <oval cartouche> 43"





 
2.  An Eb contrabass sarrusophone by Couesnon & Cie.  The bell engraving says "COUESNON & CIE, FOURNISSEURES DE L'ARMEE, 94 RUE D'ANGOULEME  <cartouche> 14177".





 
3.  He also has an Orsi soprano sarrusophone (Bb), for which I do not have pictures.
