This instrument might be associated with the S.M.S. Moltke, which was the lead ship of the Moltke-class battlecruisers of the German Imperial Navy, named after the 19th-century German Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke. It is a German style flugelhorn made of brass with nickel-silver trimmings. It has three rotary valves with clock-spring mechanisms and mechanical linkages, and a brass mouthpiece. Nominal pitch: B-flat.
