it's a Selmer New Largebore Alto, serial number 9791, for sale in Germany.

Here are some more pictures for those interested.

I have a later one, just before the cigar cutter. Lovely alto. Blows like a balanced action, for much less $$.

I also have a later one, around sn 12.000 ... but ... did nobody spot the odd thing in the picture?

Sometimes on Fridays at the Selmer factory, the booze would get passed around earlier in the day.

The personal engraving or the upside down Selmer logo?

the upside down Selmer logo in the picture above. I thought this might be worth sharing.
