Amati-Kraslice - the ones we love to hate?

@conndirectorfan Lucked out and found a rarity with its original inspection/warranty slip! This is model AFH-201, the standard flugelhorn, which appears to be from March 1998 [1.3.98 - note 15 Oct 99 above], serial 865738. Note the older style milled caps and buttons and plastic case with older-style latches and "smoother" exterior than the later molded cases.
For reference, 862346 is an ATR-303 Festival type dated Jan 1994 - hard to say how the serials all line up, but this puts the reset around the 1990s...so far...

Classic Conns, a few others, and more Amati-Kraslice horns than one should ever have -

I just joined so am still trying to figure out the "rhythm" of this site.
I have one - it has "ATR213 Czech Republic" on the receiver, a stylized "ak" logo on the bell and s/n 227190 vertical on the bottom of the 2nd valve casing.
It appears to have had little use. The lacquer is perfect and no dents, dings or scratches. The valves seal well and have quick response. It appears well-built and is actually a good player. Would this be considered a student model or something above that?
