What brand mouthpiece is this?
Got this in trade. Gold plated, small shank mouthpiece. It is shaped like a Denis Wick but the only marking is "5BS". No need for it and want to sell it, but would like to know what it is so I can price accordingly. Thanks in advance!

Sure looks like a Wick, and 5BS is one of their sizes.

Yeah, but shouldn't the name be stamped into it as well as the size? I see a few Wick-style knock-offs with on eBay, but I can't see why they would clone such an unusual size. Don't want to sell it as a real deal Wick if it is in fact a MSO (Mouthpiece Shaped Object).

You got it in trade? Did someone try to pass it off as a Denis Wick? It is aN AliExpress copy through and through.

Re: What brand mouthpiece is this?
It's a Denis Wick knock-off, not made by Wick. I got one on eBay a few years ago, for not many $. Excellent copy at a fraction of the price. Gold plate is quite good. (Probably better than Wick's.) I haven't seen one of these advertised for years. But I'm happy with mine. You probably shouldn't ask too much for it, but I expect the buyer will be pleased.
