There is a baritone Oxford,( Bosey And Hawks) probably.
Any of you played those.
This one is in descent shape.
Thanks

Depending on when it was made, it's probably a Pierret, Kohlert, or Amati stencil. Just judging from the keyguard, it might be an Amati.
I started on a Boosey and Hawkes Imperial (Kohlert stencil) alto back in 1966.

I am wondering, based on the position of the bell keys relative to the length of the bell whether that one is keyed to low A?
Not sure,
Though this one is out of my list.
Many thanks
All the best

Man, if you are playing in hell, wait until the fires go out! It'll help with the smell of burned skin at the pads and the soft metal of they keys!
