Vintage Conn Identification

Hey all, long time lurker here. Recently acquired a vintage conn and am having trouble pinning down its model. The sn puts it at 1924. Stuck between 22b nys early model, 27b, or 5b. Came with hp and lp pipes, no pinky ring on lead or thumb saddle, Perpendicular bracing, and gold wash bell. There is no stamp on the lead pipe. I love how it looks and more importantly how it plays: A very nice crystal clear tone that soars with ease. Thanks

Looks like it has a younger sister available at Goodwill.

Seems to be a complete kit if you're missing any parts.

IT's definitely a 22B swept back second slide adjustable A to B Second valve has a B in the center which denotes French Brass on Conn 22B and 2b's used
French Brass I had a 22B same year which was Gold plated with Deco Art from bell to to bell bend. Yes it is a 22B
