King Lemaire Tenor history?

[smoothsax]

I sold my King Lemaire on Ebay last week. I guess it was made by some place in Czech in the early 80's. Can someone verify this? Any history on this sax? I know it's a secondary stenciled horn.

This was not an SML....

These saxes are made by Amati.
King Lemaire = Amati Super Classic
Exist several Amati stensils.

Amati stencils (Amati serial numbers):
- Corton
- Musica Steyr (Austria)
and other

The main distinctive attributes:
- the crosspiece between a bell and a body
- keyguards

The tenor Amati Super Classic and the King Lemaire are identical. They both play fairly well and the intonation is good top to bottom. I will say that the Amati is a slightly brighter sounding horn. Both seem to hold up and are constructed well. Both of mine I believe are from the late 60's. Is there anyone out there who could help me identify the true age of these horns. I need serial #/ yr. info on the Amati's as they don't follow the King's series of numbers. Thanks, Kevin
