It looks like it`s designed to be a larger version of the .500 bore Urbie Green Copy

It is not a larger bore "Urbie". It's more like a Bach 36 cleaned up a bit.

Hi, could you elaborate on that a bit? Cleaned up how?

Thanks

Mostly cosmetic changes. For example, solid bell braces to eliminate the counterweight, a curved hand brace, a gold brass bell and a double radius bottom bow. Maybe it was a poor choice of phrase. When you look at the horns side by side, IMO, the Wessex has a neater look.

Is there a version w/F?

Thanks for clearing that up , is the hand slide the same width as the 36?

I will answer the 2 questions here... Yes, there is a version with an F-attachment.(PB/F 525) The slide is the same width as the Bach 36.(wide)

What is the price point for the f attachment? Cheers to Wessex for taking on the "medium bore quandary".
