Is this a Keilwerth?

It's not much to go on, but enough to say probably a Dorfler & Jorka. D&J usually are labeled "Made in Western Germany," and they have different shaped posts from a Keilwerth. Keilwerth posts are like a triangle stacked on an inverted triangle (I don't know what to call the Keilwerth shape: like an hourglass except the waist bulges out rather than in). These posts are more rounded. Also the engraving is like a D&J.

Polemonium nailed it. It's a D&J. The engraving alone gives it away. Add to that the serial # and the Made in Western Germany stamp and you have a winner.

What is the name engraved on the bell? I just want to make sure I have it in my name listing for the brand. Thanks!

Thanks to all for the help. He thought that bell reads H Gert

@polemonium just noticed the bell engraving on your horn. Is that real or photoshopped? Is it yours?

Just wondering, since I haven't seen a D&J with that name before... Or at least I can't remember one off the top of my head.

@Helen Yes, good eye, my avatar picture is a D&J alto engraved "Sax-Master," that I own. It's in decent shape apart from missing the unusual neck screw, and some pads need a bit of help. The pads are reddish leather - are those the originals?

I made it my profile pic as a bit of humor since I'm the furthest thing from a sax master.

I looks like H. GEN something from here. The 4th letter looks like a G then maybe an E or S.
