I was able to acquire a complete King Duo Gravis parts horn. I will be keeping the dependent valve section but all other parts are available for sale.

Parts list:
bell - fair condition with evidence of crease repairs. heavy tarnish on brass bell.
slide - complete. includes the finger ring. no wear on the inner stockings
gooseneck
main tuning slide - heavily dented
slide receiver
bell brace
base for top/bottom trigger levers
top/botton trigger levers and linkages

No "D" tuning slide available.

Make an offer on one piece or the entire lot.

Thanks

PM-ed you. 

3x, actually.  #1 and 3 are messages.  #2 was a mistaken click...

Sales pending on several parts:
gooseneck, main tuning slide, bell brace, trigger levers/linkages/base.


More information on the rest of the parts:
The serial # puts the build year between 1960-5.

Condition issues:
1. There is a scar on the bell (see photos) from a repaired crease and the bell overall is very tarnished.  The bell rim is quite wavy, showing that it's had a hard life.
2. The top/bottom triggers set of parts look to be complete.
3. The main tuning slide has many dents and has lost most/all of its lacquer.
4. The slide has a patch on the lower cork barrel. I hardly noticed it when I played the horn, but that's me.
5. The slide has been re-assembled at some point. The upper inner slide tube is not properly centered inside the upper cork barrel so there is a noticeable 'click' every time I move the slide in and out of 1st position.
6. The is an old dent repair about midway down the slide (see photos), most likely from the bell rim hitting the slide. The repair was done well.
7. I did find 2 very small spots of plating wear on the stockings.
8. The slide crook has a few dents.
9. The slide water key seals well.

The dependent valve section is not for sale. I'll be combining it with the straight gooseneck of my Getzen 3047AFR for a (hopefully) nice 'mini bass' or 'double-valve tenor'.


If you have made an offer on any of these parts and want to withdraw your offer after learning more about the condition of the parts then I'll completely understand.

Sent you a note about the main slide.

Sent a PM @ the bell section.
