1937 SML Rev. A „Standard“ Alto
Just got a Rev. A Standard alto in good state (95% original silverplating, no dents or severe scratches, only some small resolders, no play around the rods and pads might still be the original ones !? )
To my surprise this „Standard“ model seems technically to be more advanced than other Rev. A specimen like the “Primax“ or the „Alliance“, that are pictured at Saxpics.
It has rolled toneholes, front-F key and the neckbrace of the later models. The bellkeyguard is nicer, too, than the ordinary rat-trap wireguard.
Not that far away from my Hawkins Special.
Any thoughts about this model?
