Only a few Conn-made (always stencil) sousaphones had a smaller bore size than .734"
The 14K, though a 4/4-size body, has the same valveset bore (.734") as the 6/4-size Conn sousaphones.
To clarify, those smaller bore slides might be Conn-made ("Continental Colonial" [??] etc.) but the odds are that they are not. If they ARE Conn-made, they may be of little use to anyone.
