 At an auction in Vichy (France) in 2007 a Johann Sattler, Graslitz JAZZ MASTER trumpet was sold with similar blue and pearl valve tops.
 In november 2015 Jan Vundr ('Brass maniac') offered a Jazzmaster for sale, with no other engravings than Jazzmaster (and without blue and pearl valve tops). But the bell engravings are again similar to the Bavarian one.

 Johann Sattler patented an instrument with push-rods enclosed in metal tubes in Czechoslovakia, on November 1st, 1935, no. CZ 6296 - 35. He also patented this invention in the US (US 2,106,281 by Johann Sattler of Bohemia, Czechoslovakia), filed on August 15th, 1936 and approved on January 25th,1938. In his patent he claims that opening the valves only requires a very small movement of the plungers and therefore his invention permits quicker tone variations.

+====US patent====
 Through his granddaughter, Waltraud Greipl, I got parts of a correspondence between Johann Sattler and his contacts in the US about the patent process. In the first letter, dated Februar 14th 1936, Franz Zoubeck, living in Baltimore but originating from Graslitz, reports about his enquiries at the US Patent Office in Washington D.C. He askes for pictures of the patented instrument (front view, sideview) and a written proxy to be able to proceed. Zoubeck was a musical instrument maker who had left Czechoslovakia in 1921 at the age of 24 on a boat from Bremen and settled down in Baltimore, where he named himself Frank and made and repaired musical instruments. In April he writes to Sattler that he has found someone to market the instruments, a mr. A. Quall. Qual was store manager of Aaron Burdwise in Baltimore, a musical instrument dealer and the former supervisor of Zoubeck. Quall is then president of the International Sales Company, Inc. Importers, Manufacturer's Agents and Exporters of Musical Merchandise. According to Zoubeck he has connections with the big Graslitz companies like A.K. Hüttl, F.X.Hüller, Köstler and such. Quall thinks that if the patent works he can sell some 200 trumpets per month. Sattler would have to deliver them for $8 net, to be payed at delivery.

 Other Sattler Jazzmasters have engravings on the bell that are similar to the Bavarian masterpiece. This Jazzmaster has the US patent number on the backside of the bell, which dates it to 1938 (or later...)
