I have no idea of the vintage of my horn--the valve cluster is stamped 199285, which, if you use the sax numbers on the Kirmser list, puts it in 1957. It's a top-action 3V model and is in pretty rough condition cosmetically. Sometime this winter, I'll pull it apart, clean it up, and probably convert it to front-action. At that time, I'll see if it might make a good CC--if the intonation holds, it would be a very nice horn indeed. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with it as BBb and I'll leave it that way.
