However, these horns are ... derivative ... of Keilwerth. And they're not made anymore, IIRC (well, I think Guardala is, but by a different company, now. Please correct me if I'm wrong).

Actually, by your definition the Selmer Super Action 80 Serie II would be the only vintage horn that is still being produced. They started that model back in 1986. I was 2 years old, does that make me vintage? Hey that means that the line has lasted longer than the Mark VI. Oh, and you can also add the Serie I to that vintage list.
