Selmer USA Tenor Help Identifying Model

Hello. I recently acquired a Selmer USA tenor sax. Its in excellent condition but I cannot figure out the model or year it was made. Based on some of the literature found with it, I believe it is from the 80s but cant sure. The only markings are "Selmer USA" and the serial number 1325201. This sax is a sax brass/gold lacquer throughout with pearl keys. I would appreciate any help you folks can offer. Thank you.

That neck looks very Buescher! The 1244 model used a neck like that.

I have one very similar to this...my serial number is 1345XXX and it actually has '1244' engraved on the bell right below 'USA'. I bought it used, as a back-up horn, and I can't tell you anything about the year of manufacture or anything like that. It is a student model Selmer USA Saxophone.
