Mystery .547 slide here. Anyone recognize it? There are no markings anywhere on it.

Low end Bach? The gusset is Bach shaped, the oversleeves are expanded rather than soldered. The water key is bent.

Blessing B88?

Thanks, guys. I have concluded that it is a Courtois.

I bought an Courtois AC280 "as is" trombone from QTE on eBay. The slide is clearly not original to the bell section. Bell is in new condition; slide has been played quite a bit and the tenon does not fit quite right. After examining photos of Courtois, I can see that this is some kind of Courtois slide...

And yes, Hyperbolica, these Courtois slides (AC280, AC420, etc) are modeled after Bach slides but somewhat "cheapified."
