The serial number is 00549 and it says "Made in Germany", and has 2001 engraved on the bell, but aren't SML supposed to have stopped making saxes in the 1980's?? Or does the 2001 refer to something else...

Show me an SML sax made in 2001....

and I'll show you a football autographed by Abraham Lincoln.

Must be a stencil or other knockoff.
