F Bell for Schilke G1

[tomterriff]

I just bought a Schilke G1 trumpet and love it's response and sound. This was an oldie, (but goodie,) 4XXX serial number in immaculate shape. I'm considering getting an F bell for it. Any recommendations or evaluations. It a Schilke bell the best? Are there alternative sources? Do I need to by slides as well or will spacers do the trick? Approximately what does such a bell cost? I'd appreciate any and all input.

Thanks to all

I have a G1L with several configurations:
1) Two bells for G - larger and smaller
2) F bell with F slides
3) E bell that is also used with the F slides

It is an extremely versatile horn. I have hardly ever used it in F but I find it quite useful in E. All of the parts described above are Schilke.
