Seems to be a lot of confusion about pitch. 452 was about the maximum for high pitch. This about one half a semitone sharp by modern standards. 435 French pitch was relatively common obviously in France but also in America. This is supported by research. If the horn is just below 440 simply and factually it is not high pitch. There are a lot of 435 French pitch horns, likely they are nooooot high pitch. There is enough factual documented history to support this.
