No, the 10M was never a student horn. Some vendors stand by the assumption that when Conn dropped the naked lady engraving, somehow the horns weren't as good. They are the same body and keywork as the earlier models, save for a few insignificant cosmetic details.
The Pan Am, and after 1955 the Director models, were Conn's student lines.
To put this into perspective, although many criticize the Eastlake era Kings for not being as good as the Cleveland era ones, do you feel your Super 20 is a student grade horn?
