Custom Built model horns have features absent or unavailable in the basic Aristocrat models. That included the internal dimensions of the horn; things like bore size, dimensions of the receiver and lead-pipe taper, the flare in the bell-tail and the diameter of the bell.
The Custom Built horns were also distinguished by various mechanical and cosmetic features. The most obvious distinction was the use of nickel-silver in the horns' bracing, fittings and valve slides. The nickel-silver is cosmetically distinctive, but it is also practical, it resists corrosion better than brass. It's good for places like slides that tend to trap dirt, valve oil, and other residue. The metal is harder than brass, so it also resists denting better and works well as a material for braces.
This horn has a plain brass receiver; I don't think I've seen a Model 265 with a nickel-silver receiver and lead-pipe assembly, but it may have been a option.

Note the bell's rim; the bells on the Custom Built horns were made differently from those on the Aristocrat and Buescher's earlier horns. There is a flat brass ribbon running behind the circumference of the bell's rolled rim. I believe that kind of reinforcing band is called a "Krantz Ring". The bells on the Aristocrat model horns that are this horn's contemporary featured bells that lacked this ring, but had thicker rounded rims.
However this and all Buescher's trumpets and cornets of the time featured what Buescher called the "Acousta-Bell", formed using a proprietary brass formula and construction method Buescher had started using sometime in the early 1930s. Buescher claimed that the Acousta-Bell was "especially tempered by a secret process developed by Buescher research engineers" and contained a secret brass alloy known only to Buescher.

A sleek custom stainless steel art car gleams against the backdrop of the Tulsa skyline during the Trunk or Treat event in the Meadow Gold District on October 26, 2024. This futuristic vehicle, reflecting both the cityscape and the event’s vibrant atmosphere, stands out with its unique design. Captured on expired Fuji Sensia 100 film with a Nikon FG-20, this shot merges art, automotive craftsmanship, and Tulsa’s urban culture.

Buescher started using the bottom-sprung "pin" type valves as early as 1930.
The pins are the lugs you can see here milled or soldered to the valve's top; they fit into a corresponding groove cut into the valve casing's wall.
The action on these horns is good when the valves are in good shape; they're slick and fast.
This was a lighting nightmare. 3 strobes (at least for me :)). One 580exII OC, one YN on kitchen floor on low power and one YN hidden behind the green separation wall. I wasn't able to neutralize all shadows, but I think it gives it an interesting feel. I had to move the dining table out of sight.

We met with our architect and builder today to review the first draft of our custom home. We are building 3 miles from my office and 20 minutes from Paulette's.
Buescher originally designated this line as the "Aristocrat Custom Built" model line. The Model 265 Custom Built Cornet has that engraved on the bell, as do the Custom Built trumpet models introduced in 1935.
However, Buescher's subsequent Custom Built models would not be engraved with "Aristocrat"; only "Custom Built".
Usually Buescher stamped the horn's model number at the bottom of the third valve casing, so if you're stumped over what a horn's model is, you can look there.
