I’m hunting for my original king horn that I had as a kid. I’ll never find the original one again but I’d like one just like it. For the life of me I can’t remember if it was a liberty or tempo. I want to say it was a liberty stamped on the bell but not sure. Very small bore. It was a silver bell, gold slide, and a crown counterweight tuning slide. Case had blue lining and a large black square style case. I could just kick the teenage me that told his parents to get rid of it. Stupid stupid stupid. But it was long before we had stuff like this or I knew how to use it.
Any ideas welcome. If not I’ll end up buying a tempo and a 2b Liberty, eventually. It’ll go nicely in my collection with my Bach strad 42BO.

Re: Tempo vs Liberty
Sounds like it's the 1306 Tempo (only Tempo with a curved bell brace).

Re: Tempo vs Liberty
Thank you very much it did have the forward curved brace on it.

Re: Tempo vs Liberty
Could it have been a Tempo 1305? They also have a curved bell brace, but I wouldn‘t expect to see them stamped with Liberty.
