Exactly my horn, except mine has the oval stamps and a 1941 serial number.
Yes Vytas, the Albert I bought from you had an Eagle mouthpiece and barrel (but none on the bell). It's that wonderfully heavy resonant hard rubber with a beautiful strong tone. I'd always admired Kenny Davern's use of HR horns and I do think they have something special. Maybe not so refined tonally, but more "oomph" somehow. They vibrate differently, at least to the player.
You may well be right about the pre-WW2 Conns being of higher quality. In the case of saxes it's definitely true. In fact my 1921 Albert seems a more finely made thing in many ways than my 34N from 1927.
