This is a DEG Dynasty II Soprano "bugle" in G. Model D950 made sometime between 1978 and 1988. A two valved horn, this was the workhorse of Drum Corps and DCI in the 80's and 90's before three valves were allowed. Check out this video for a demonstration and explanation of a very innovative mechanism for hitting the high Ab without a third valve. Enjoy!
