Supposedly 1958, brass, with that clear lucite guard, S/N looks to be maybe 253xx, says Best in the World, but cannot read much else. Suppose to be a Julius Keilwerth.

Can anyone tell me which Model this might be and maybe its approx. worth in good shape? Any other info. about it? Is it really a Keilwerth or?

Any help appreciated.

Have 2 rather unclear photos, maybe that will help.

Yes it's a Keilwerth, my guess is a toneking III with the help of saxpics.

thanks finnerski, but that threw me a curve ball. I knew there were Tonekings, Superbas, & New Kings etc, but didn't know there was a Toneking III. Can you shed anymore light on it? Where does it fall within the range of their horns? I think the royalist is considered an Intermediate, and the Superba II a pro horn, but a Toneking III? And is it a stencil?

Read the info provided in the links that were sent to you. Old JK's are kind of mysterious, that's what makes them so cool.

I went to the links, but for some strange reason, only the pic showed up with the Title at the top, but no wording, sentences or otherwise. I'll try the site directly, see if that helps. Thanks.

ok, found a little on Seried III. Unfortunately couldn't find any real info. I could sink my teeth into though. Like is it a good horn, how are the ergos, is the sound dark or bright, are they considered a student, intermed. or pro horn, etc? Hopefully someone who has maybe played or owns one, will come along and shed some more light on this mystery sax. Thanks again.
