The serial number is: H92316 and it is Nickel Plated with brass slides and valve caps and bottoms. Any help will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

The Conn Loyalist Web site confirms that your trumpet is from the 1966 time period.

The chart says:

"H31247 - 1966"
- quoted from
The Conn Loyalist

What might be confusing you, with reference to your other post about expecting to see 2 letters, that same chart says that the use of 2 letters at the beginning of the serial number started in 1973, with the "HA" in 1980.
