I think this was up previously. Good price based on pix.

I thought this receiver might have been Conn-verted, but I don't really recognize the supplied neck or bit.

Don’t know enough to comment on the neck, but the bit looks like a standard Martin thumbscrew-tightened bit.

The little brace on the bit seens Martinish, but I thought they came with two, and looked a bit different. The Bundy gooseneck I have, which is interchangeable with Martins, has different proportions than that one in the pic. :smilie5:

That’s a nice looking Eb.
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC
