#7684 and 6380 are owned by the same collector.

I have attached photos of the two horns for your photo collection.  They are magnificent instruments – works of art.  Both are playable and museum quality.  I had Robb Stewart do just a single dent removal on the Pocket (Eb) cornet – otherwise, these horns came in almost perfect shape.
