The person I talked to at the factory knew nothing of the LTD version, which I find rather curious. Although the instrument showed up in Conn-Selmer's database as a model 305B, this instrument seems to have all the features of a 305B except the barrel is engraved "LDT" and the flute has a gold-plated lip plate and crown. I don’t know why there is a piece of tape on the one piece I didn’t notice anything wrong with it. WT Armstrong Student Beginner Flute 104 J5930 Has Spots & Dents VTG AS-IS. I’m not very familiar with musical instruments to me it appears in good condition. I've never seen, or heard mention of, a 305B LTD before. CONN Flute ELKHART INDIANA 1920s Rare Vintage Two Tone Pearl. The person I talked to said all she could tell me is that it showed up as a model 305B, and that it was sold by Armstrong to a dealer in March of 2000.

After reading the posts in this thread I decided to call Conn-Selmer to see what I could find out. I have often wondered just how old the instrument is, since a dealer inventory tag had the appearance of being quite aged (well yellowed and dirty). I purchased it from a dealer, supposedly new, in December of 2005.
