Elkhart Conn 8D serial # 901414. Detachable flare, unknown ring set, Very large similar to the Paxman large ringset, but I dont have one to check if compatible. It engulfs an Alex ring. Because it sets lower on the bell tail the corpus will not fit in some detach cases, It does fit in an Paxman flat case, but not in a Yamaha flat case. Valve compression, useable but the usual minor leakage encountered in older Conn horns. No skanky notes, good to High C. Bell flare sports a copper Michigan Badge/ patch and the flare has two high temp silver solder pin hole patches, see pics. Nickle hand guard has a small dent. Wire brushed satin finishclean it with a green scrubbie No lacquer with the exception of some inside the bell flare Mechanical linkage on the thumb valve. A good horn for someone who needs a detach bell horn, and you get the Elkhart quality and desirable NiSi.
