And the horns that sell at the upper end of that range are usually vintage American horns with highly regarded outer branches that can be used in other projects, or that at least have powerful false tones to overcome the shortage of valves. Narrow-bore horns like Couesnons don't seem to attract those higher prices.

It might be worth more to you as a horn than as cash. You could easily have a regular receiver installed on the horn so that it would use a mouthpiece with a standard shank. Then you'd have a small horn for occasions when a BBb isn't as useful.
