1928 Conn 2B Castle Engraving Gold Plate

I acquired this horn a bit ago really just for the engraving of the castle with waves crashing which I’ve never seen on another Conn of the period I’m guessing stenberg engraved.

Interestingly it doesn’t have first or third slide rings or stop rods typically of the 20s 2B. I believe it was built that way as there are no solder marks and the pinkish gold plate is original. Interesting horn would live to get it restored someday.

Any extra info from any of you would be greatly appreciated!

Thought I’d share my pair of Buffet Crampon balanced action trumpets from the 50s that have a great look, and still play great. Although they could use some valve work Hetman 3 is good enough for the time being.

I believe these were made by EMO (Ernst Model) in Germany as a stencil for Buffet Crampon. Very unique horns, one has a ring around the bell the other without. Maybe someday I’ll get them properly restored. Don’t see these too often but can be had at pretty reasonable prices I think neither were more than $300 around 2021/22.
