I know that LW 4Hs aren’t that rare, but what about the LW 6H?

A few years ago I was gifted the ‘52 that belonged to the late-Keith Moon….who toured with Kenton and Woody Herman before settling down in Vegas. I’ve never seen another factory ordered LW 6H model.

A5h was a 6H with a light weight slide. Having played both I prefer the standard 6H

It could be a 5H that got stamped 6H: Conn went through periods when what got stamped on a horn was a random event. The well loved Conn trombone has many names. Or Conn may have made it bespoke for Keith Moon and stamped it as described, in which case it may be a one off trombone with a potentially blurred pedigree. If it sounds good it is good. (Duke Ellington)

This one came before the 5H which was introduced post-Elkhart.
