Can anyone help me identify what model this is? I've found similarities to the Standard or the Superlative, but nothing seems to check all the boxes.

The bell engraving is simply The Martin Band Instruments Co, Elkhart Ind; and I can't seem to find anything with the perpendicular second slide.

It's a Martin Symphony model.

Thanks; I haven't been able to find any pics that matched; all the Symphony models I found had the extra bit in the tuning slide crook.

Pull loops tend to be inconsistent as trim - also get removed during repairs after someone really crushes one and messes things up bad.
