It looks like a frankenhorn to me. That term is commonly used to describe an instrument that has been made up out of parts from multiple other horns.

Very old as in from the 90s? The 41 prefix would put it in the 90s era as you add 50 to it to get the year of production if it is a king as it would be a umi king.
