Yes, from your description, it's a Martin. Does it say "Ambassador" or "Super" on the bell? If it's a Super, that's a rare Committee II-based model and a high-end collector horn now. The Martin-built Ambassador model is an Indiana-based horn, not as valuable or rare but not a bad horn at all. Quite undervalued in the marketplace, considering the quality and sound.
