I have purchased a Conn 1000b In very nice shap ecept a nast crinkle on the bell about 1 1/2″ in front of the stamping on the bell. The bell is red brass. The tuning slide is also stuck. I belive this horn has been sitting in the case for many years, as it looks like it wasnt played that much. the strke that cause the crease seems to have been squarely on the bell rim, because its a perfect crinkle all the way around.

doesnt really look any worse than your example shown, give me a price on that, and get the slide moved, and i will get it in the mail to you.
