The flute was recently restored by an antique flute specialist Jeff Dening, which included complete oil-soaking, all new pads, corks, minor crack repair in head (doesn’t affect sound because of metal lined head), adjustment. The head and body both feature the E. Rittershausen signature stamp, including the Prussian Eagle. The original case is not really usable, but includes a fun stamp: "E. Rittershaussen , Berlin; Carl Fischer (Sole US Distributor),” "First Prize, Chicago World’s Fair, 1892."
