I have just completed the restoration of a horn made in the 1880's
by A. Meindl in Czechoslavkia. It is a B-flat horn and plays very well
and easily in the upper octave, not so well lower down. The 3rd valve is
2 steps. I haven't seen this before in a horn, but I did have a helicon
that was the same.
I'm still looking for a button for the first valve, any ideas? You can
see a picture of it before my restoration on Horn-u-copia:

I have a twin for this horn out in the shop here. For that missing keytop I
think you are just going to have to make it. The tops on mine aresilver, just
a nickle silver disk. Check "smallparts.com" and see if theysell it in the
thickness you need, rough cut it out and grind it down. Itmight be done with a
coin too. Your missing the leadpipe, how did you playit? Mine is at the
bottom of my repair list because it is going to need aclockwork spring
replaced, those are a pain.Leonard"
