It's a Couesnon alright, but no idea if it's a Monopole I or II. Regardless, those are excellent horns. The serial on these is not in the usual place IIRC.
Indeed, basic model. The consevatoire was the extra de luxe model.I am also puzzled by how the lower part of the saxophone body was de-silvered. That would devalue seriously this horn.
