Description
This Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone is in very good condition with around 85-90% of its lacquered finish remaining with general wear over the entire horn. This saxophone has had an overhaul done so it is in great shape. There is a small ding above “France” in the engraving above the serial number and an even smaller ding below the upper thumb rest and next to the neck hook ring. There is a small ding under the neck hook ring as well. The bow has some light dents. Someone has etched something in around the engraving by the serial number. Please see the photos for more details. The serial number is “M193846” making this a 1971 vintage alto saxophone. Above the serial number is engraved “Made in France Brev. S.G.D.G. 920653 US. PAT+ 2710558 US. PAT+ 2846917”. The engraving on the bell is very crisp. “Henri Selmer Paris” is engraved in laurel leaves and after that “Selmer Made in France” with the R trademark sign with swirling flowers around it and down to the bow. “Mark VI” is engraved where the bell meets the bow. This alto saxophone comes with the original “H. Selmer Paris” neck that is in great shape with no evidence of pull down. The Selmer “S” is on the octave key. This saxophone comes in a new Selmer Vanguard memory foam case.
