But there is no way of knowing, there are no records on these things (I would be very interested to find the provenance of several instruments, but alas).

I have the opportunity to buy a Conn with Coprion bell that has some denting on the bell.
Is it more difficult to repair denting on a Coprion bell? I thought it might be more brittle, etc. Plus, if a crack develops, what would they use to fill the crack, since ordinary solder in a Coprion bell would look bad.
