Hello All
I need help identifying my king trombone serial number 10xxx. Bell looks younger that the slide. All slides and braces match serial numbers. The bell only have KING and a crown. Let me know what you think

I saw a post here before linked with an article about that. Just want to see if anyone else has seen one.
Seems to be 2B bore size. The 2B at my school is able to share tuning slides and hand slide. I have a King Tempo Bell which the tuning slide fits. Plays extremely well.

King 2B: Dual bore 0.481"/0.491" - standard weight slide
King 2BL "Jiggs Whigham": single-bore 0.491" - same bell as 2B, lightweight slide, counterweight optional, standard tuning slide (model 2BL) or short tuning slide (2BLS)
