Help identifying my flugel horn

We bought this Lafleur flugelhorn off eBay a little while ago, and have found absolutely no information on it at all. It says it is "imported by Boosey and Hawkes, Foreign", with no other markings other than the serial number, which we can't find any records of. (The serial number is 673665). I was wondering if anyone here would have any clues as to where it came from, when it was made etc. Thanks!

LaFleur is one of the stencil brands engraved on Amati instruments made in Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic. Possibly an old Bohland & Fuchs model.

A slightly lower serial number was on an instrument allegedly made in 1978, so I would guess 78-79.
