Help on this Weril horn

Hello fellow trumpet cohorts

I recently came across a music shop that was closing and they had an unsold Weril trumpet for about US$350 and since I needed a backup horn, I was thinking why not. However, the shop keeper barely knows anything about the horn other than it's been sitting in the warehouse for 20 years and thinks it's probably a beginner horn for students.

Anyway, I know nothing about this brand of trumpet (other than it's made in Brazil) and just wanted to see if anyone here knows any basic info on this horn. Nothing was coming up in cyberspace too.

The only piece of information I was able to discern from the bell is:-

"Regium Studio ET 8071"

All comments are greatly appreciated! Including the likelihood I probably gotten ripped off hahaha

Found this on Reverb (scroll down a bit to see the ad):

Looks like the music shop is the one that got ripped off.
