ACCORDING TO EXPERT SITE
THE MARTIN STORY:

I call this horn Handcraft Committee because it’s the predecessor op the Comm-II, also called Committee 2. In combination with the fact that the name Handcraft still is engraved on the horn, that would make it a Handcraft Committee.

The HC committee has the low B and Bb keys on one side.
Note the city-skyline and searchlights (also called “Mars takes over the earth”) engraving. That’s the normal engraving to be found on this horns. It give them the nicknames “Martin Skyline” or “Martin Searchlight”.

Some people actually prefer these horns in stead of the later Comm-II or The Martin horns.

Early models have a fixed right thumbrest, later models feature a adjustable one (change somewhere around 118K)
