Has anyone discussed this horn yet?

Is this an original helicon? Or did someone just slap a York Monster Bell onto a Conn 14 or 38k?

Thoughts, anyone?

The seller is a TubeNet member, but I can't remember his s/n.

Its my horn .It is really a York with an early conn valveset (ser #104xxx i believe).You can see where the braces for the original valveset were.The body is thinner brass than any 14k or 38k .

Cool, where are you located? And is the Bell original to the body?

But how well does it play? I might be interested if it plays good!
