A nice buy. These are often have qualities very like Rudall’s.
There is a silver ring missing from where the head meets the barrel by the looks of it.

flute looks exactly like my keith or I must need new glasses…are there different C foot keys???
Thomas Prowse was a differnet maker then Keith Prowse, which was a partnership with R.W. Keith and W. Prowse…
I bought it.
Can’t tell you much more about it at the minute, had two springs broken and have left it in to have them repaired. Looked like a nice flute though, in good condition.

Looks like a great deal! 
A nice buy…
This is a very strong one I had through the workshop a little while ago, better than a lot of Rudalls I’ve played; http://youtu.be/pi6u_dPjiKQ
