Not trying to hijack this thread, but instead would like to tap the collective wisdom present in trying to learn more about a 1929 (SN 89,5XX) small-bore (No. 1) Martin Handcrafted "New Master" Bb trumpet I recently acquired.

It appears to have a solid silver bell. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this model? It appears to be of the same vintage as Handcrafted Dasants and Imperials and shares many of the same characteristics (i.e., the full pinky ring and the same bell engraving). Does the "New Master" appear in any of the advertising or marketing material that some of you have referenced? Any and all information would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance.
