Note the brace between the mouthpipe assembly and the bell-tail - one foot is soldered directly to the receiver. The brace is made of nickel-silver, a good bracing material as it is harder than brass.
Note also the nickel-silver bushing between the bell-tail and first valve block's brass tubing, and in the first valve slide. Nickel-silver was useful in such places because it was harder to dent and it resists corrosion better than regular brass.
Here again you can see remnants of Buescher's opaque "gold" lacquer on the valve block, slide, brace and receiver.

The Aristocrat Custom Built trumpets were multi-pitch horns that could be tuned to Bb or A.
The main tuning slide has two sections. Note the two rounded vertical braces just behind the "C" shaped brace in the main slide's crook. Those braces support an independent stretch of tubing.
When tuning to regular Bb, you just adjusted the main slide as usual, sliding the whole main assembly in and out. When you wanted to tune to A, you slid the main slide out and then pulled the portion of the slide assembly with the "C" brace even farther out.
Note the knurled ring on tubing extending from the third valve case to the main slide. Just to the right of that ring you can threading in the tube. The ring is a threaded ferrule used to lock the slide into position when it was extended.
Heather's bar/stem was custom made using a combination of fillets and TIG welds to get a really specific look. A 38CM 25.4 Nitto B-123 handlebar completes the tight and right track look on Heather's Rockcity and we added a hand-cut 'H' to the back of the stem as a cherry on top for our favorite gal.

Note the knurled ring on tubing extending from the third valve case to the main slide. Just to the right of that ring you can threading in the tube. The ring is a threaded ferrule used to lock the slide into position when it was extended.
Note the bushing at the end of the receiver. That general style of receiver mouth had been characteristic of Buescher brass instruments since the 1930s, except for the very first Custom Built model trumpets introduced in 1935, Models 235 and 237.
The pre-war Custom Built models were loaded with nickel-silver components. However, the Model 215 is an all-brass horn.
Buescher was always ready to take special orders; features like nickel-silver receivers were probably a standard option available for the asking.
The 265 cornet could be played in Bb or A. Note the main tuning slide and then the smaller slide with a stippled metal ring on the tubing next to the foot of that slide's vertical bracing post.
That ring is a threaded locking ferrule. When you wanted to tune the horn to A you pulled out that slide and then tightened the ferrule to lock it in position, and then pulled out the other slides to further tune down the horn.
Note the nickel-silver used in the slide crooks; Buescher also used nickel-silver on the various slide assembly's internal tubing.
