Good day,
I wish to authenticate a Conn silver valve trombone. Besides the numbers 1, 2 and 3 stamped markings on the valve pistons, the middle piston (2) also has the following stamp marking: L10035.
The other stamp marking is where the bell screws into the valve assembly: 6H
I have photos available.
Thank you.

Re: Conn valve trombone
Welcome!
The bell section is from a 6H trombone, nominally a 0.5" (12.7 mm) bore instrument. The serial number dates it to late 1967. The valve section is from a 5G which was often paired with the 6H bell.
Should work fine together.

Re: Conn valve trombone
Those 5G valve sections are great. Fits my Conn 6H, 48H, 10H and even my Getzen 3508!
I’m not a collector, I just have too many trombones….
