Hello Hans, I apologize for the typo; it was late. I knew it wasn't Czechoslovakia then, but I was too lazy to check out the history. Thank you for knowing; I thought you would.
The place name on the horn is Teplitz (Teplice).

If so, you should not say Czechoslovakia (you mispelled it as Czechoslavkia instead of correct Czechoslovakia from Czech & Slovakia) for some reason: 1. Czechoslovakia did not exist then, as it was The Kingdom of Bohemia, ruled in personal-union by the Habsburg, Emperor of the Austrian-Hungarian imperium. 2. Czechoslovakia does not exist any more as it split up into Czech Republik & Slovakia several years ago. 3. Graslkitz (Kraslice) was inhabitated by the same folks as Klingenthal & Markneukirchen on the other side of the border (but no border more) since centuries & was over 80% German. Double extension on the third slide: Uhlmann in Vienna did such; I know a Raoux-Millereau & other horns having such. By the way, the link does not work from my iMAC.
