i have seen only one other stenciled the same as my sax in 30 years.the springs were also gold plated.some have been replaced.i had the sax acid dipped when it was overhauled 5 years ago.the finish further disappeared.

you can just make out that g# sliding thing on the left hand.

tried to show serial# its 20131.sax needs to get polished again

only at the top of the bell will you see any plating that remains

missing guard.when sax was in for repairs they lost the guard???

the orginal cap on top of the neck opening.this ring also turns and has the 4 slots on the top.it now will not tighten 100%but still holds the neck ok.the music store told me my sax was gold plated but i cant tell.
