If you post pictures and provide a little more information we might be able to help. You could also go to Horn-u-copa website and look for pictures of your horn. There maybe something there that's similar.

I tried but file is too big. I went to conn site. Impressive spanning array of horns you have. I will always miss my antique rare horns

Aren't there markings? Like name insignias on the bell and body. I know the valves should have a serial number.

I have yet to see a computer that does not have some form of image editor such as MS-Paint where you can resize an image to get under the prescribed maximum size. If all else fails... send me some images and I'll post them for you. danschultz@wowway.com" target="_blank
