1984 184337-201207  -an anomoly, the Conn 21M with full lacquer – Basic Pro model –  is a fabulous sounding horn, though has few followers. I personally think that Conn imported this body from France, but no body markings or other information is known, thus highly doubtful. But if you ever get a chance to play one of these horns do it, you will not be disappointed by the huge tone.
