Although some people have said that this page contains some mistakes, it is a decent introductory source
Martin Committee
That serial number list would indicate that your trumpet was made in 1946.
For bore size, I guess you look for a "1" or a "2" or a "3" or a "*",
because that page says:
"The Committee came in the following bores:
- a small bore, #1 (0.445)
- medium bore #2 (0.451), sometimes designated with a star above the serial number
- extra large bore #3 (0.468)."
BTW,
did you say $50?
