Stéphane | First, look at this thread from last month where an owner of a 1952 22B had it plated in Satin Silver:

Second, here is just a sample of the people in Trumpet Herald who own, play, and love Conn 22B’s:

I play lead on my 1928 Conn 22b. My teacher, who normally plays on a Calicchio 1s/2, swapped horns with me for a lesson and really liked how the Conn played in the upper register.”

“I want to tell everyone about 2 fantastic trumpets from this weekend's West Chester show. Jerry Callet displayed his 10 finest horns. These are the cream of the crop from the 30 or so that he now has in his studio. Not surprisingly, every one was a great player, significantly better than even the most expensive new horns I've played (better center, intonation, ease, and sound). Nonetheless, 3 still jumped out. One is the vintage Conn 22B that Jerry personally plays…”
