Hey All,
I have for sale an Edwards 323 bell: medium gauge, soldered rim, rose brass, 8.5"
Depending on your aesthetic, the outside of the bell might not be the prettiest :D, but it plays great and was my preferred bell for a few years across all sorts of large-bore playing.
No dents or dings and no scars from structural repairs, the finish does have character though.
I delacquered the outside and gave it a light brushing a couple years ago for sound and left the inside with the factory lacquer for looks and mute work. There was also a bell tab that was removed and spot lacquered over a couple years ago in Redwing, MN, when I had my Edwards setup gone over and aligned.
I had let it develop a patina, so I recently cleaned the outside a bit, although there are still a few smudges left over; I figure the next owner will buff it if they like, scratch brush it more thoroughly, or let it patina again, so I left it in a fine state to do any of those.
Pictures can be found here:

Asking $450 OBO plus shipping, a new bell is $975 (FWIW)
