I have an Armstrong 305B LTD, the serial number is 7116937. I purchased it from a dealer, supposedly new, in December of 2005. I have often wondered just how old the instrument is, since a dealer inventory tag had the appearance of being quite aged (well yellowed and dirty). After reading the posts in this thread I decided to call Conn-Selmer to see what I could find out. The person I talked to said all she could tell me is that it showed up as a model 305B, and that it was sold by Armstrong to a dealer in March of 2000. I've never seen, or heard mention of, a 305B LTD before. Although the instrument showed up in Conn-Selmer's database as a model 305B, this instrument seems to have all the features of a 305B except the barrel is engraved 'LDT' and the flute has a gold-plated lip plate and crown. The person I talked to at the factory knew nothing of the LTD version, which I find rather curious.
Sorry for the long post, I'm just wondering if anyone else is familiar with the Armstron Model 305B LTD.
Thanks!

Powell made himself inthe 60's, or a vintage Haynes, or even an original Louis Lot can be a real treasure. Modern flutemaking and newer scale designs do make a difference, though.
