Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16
Since I'm not knowledgeable about this, what are people's opinion on this one? What is a good price for this?

Can you please explain why the medium shank is desired?
Here's what the listing says about the valves:
About This Listing
Used Boosey & Hawkes Imperial euphonium (SN:489859) in satin silver with hard-shell case. 11" upright bell and 3+1 compensating pistons of .580/.650" bore. Takes medium shank mouthpiece. Minor dings and scratches as can be expected. You can still see where a bell crease was once rolled out. No pitting in the pistons but the 4th piston was replaced with a newer version that has the black disck shaped guide.

I always liked the medium shank Besson/Boosey&Hawkes Imperials. Their intonation was better than the Sovereign. Once Besson quit making this horn, it created a market for the Willson 2900, first in the military bands then around the world. The smaller of the Shires horns (Q40M?) mimics this with a medium shank and an 11 and something inch bell.

Just realized I spelled Hawkes wrong in the title...bah.
Thanks for all the info, it's very interesting.

Sorry, when you mention "round stamp" could you explain what that means? I'm having trouble parsing that from the posts.

"Round Stamp" or "Globe Stamp" is referring to the logo design on Boosey & Hawkes manufactured brass instruments from that era. Here's an example from a cornet (photo from 4barsrest.com).
