Trying to identify this King trombone. There is no model name or number, only "King" on the bell section. According to the serial number (all I have) it is from 1981-82. I would be most interested in finding out the bore size.

Thanks for any help or leads!

Looks like a 607, a .525 bore intermediate horn. <LINK_TEXT text="https://www.conn-selmer.com/en-us/instr ... bones/607f">https://www.conn-selmer.com/en-us/instruments/band-instruments/trombones/607f</LINK_TEXT>. <LINK_TEXT text="https://reverb.com/p/king-607f-legend-s ... sh-f-rotor">https://reverb.com/p/king-607f-legend-series-step-up-tenor-trombone-w-slash-f-rotor</LINK_TEXT>

But has the 607F been around since the 1980's? Could this possibly be a 605F Cleveland (.500 bore)?

Yes, the 607 has been around since the1980s. If it had a curved bell brace it would be the 2125 (3B Plus / F).
