So I just stumbled upon this mark VI soprano listing on ebay and took a double take over the pictures when I noticed that the serials in 2 of the photos were different..... seriously! Am I the only one seeing this or is something fishy going on here? (FYI: the serial in the 9th picture is 150731 and if you zoom into the 12th picture it is 120731, again, I'm not the only one seeing this right?). Might be case of serial forgery to try and up the value of the horn? Or something along those lines?

Looks like the 150 is photoshopped, but the 120 looks real. odd...

Very strange. I hope someone reports it.

You can tell its the same horn and the same serial number but with that one change from 5 to 2. Very strange indeed.

I have taken this sax off ebay due to a pain in the *** with ebayer name alsax63 who sent messages about Selmer Mark vi soprano asking me to prove myself and so I will personally visit his house in High Wycombe in UK to prove myself..

Best regards.
