He didn't provide the serial number in his email but I have asked and I know that I can determine the year in which it was made from that information.

It is completely Solid Silver (head, body & keys) and is in excellent condition physically. It is a Handmade model with Soldered Tone Holes & French Pointed Arms. But is there a way to determine the model?įor sale is a Wm.S.
