This horn is now at the technician. I have found the serial number. Where should I look for the number and letter combination, i.e. 38k for example? Thanks.

It should be on the collar.

I had a both the Eb 26k and Bb 38K at some point they were both 1935.
I still have the Eb and I have sold the 38K to Matt Perrine some years ago.

Thank you for the replies. I will check once the repairs are done. My guess is that it is a 38k. The bell and bows are massive!

38K has the shoulder plate. Don't think the smaller one do.

Thanks. I will need to get theses measurements once I get the horn back from the shop. He is slammed right now with school repairs and as school does not start
here for nearly 3 weeks, he has a lot to do. I would like to have the horn back by the end of September, just about Octoberfest time. Ein Prosit, Indeed!

I agree - but think I've seen pictures of 38Ks and 40Ks without them. And ... really massive? The 46K would have been in the lineup in 1935.
