Reynolds Medalist (made by blessing)

Alrighty so funny story, I sold a trombone for $150 and got $120 and another trombone instead. The trombone in question is a Reynolds Medalist, from when it was made by Blessing. It plays alright, but I might sell it anyways. I mainly bought it because the counterweight is shaped like the letter R.
Does anybody have any more information on these trombones? I don't see much about em, and Contempora Corner came up dry on bell and bore sizes. I'm mostly curious about what kind of mouthpiece it takes; do they take the slightly larger Reynolds shank, or do they take a normal small shank?
It's ridiculously mouthpiece dependent right now, and I'm wondering if that's because of a poor horn or because it has a weird shank. My Conn 3 fits better than my Roth, but I'm not sure if Blessing did anything crazy back then. It absolutely hates normal mouthpieces for some reason, but enjoys V-cups.
