Hey I have stumbled across a tenor piece marked:
"Airflow, Selmer, New York" on the back.
"France" in small on the side.
"C" marked on the table.
"43162" marked on the other side.
It has a narrow metal ring around the bottom but it is flush to the shank (not round). Large circular bore, very scooped sidewalls, no baffle.
The things I have found but cannot verify:
Johnston New York - but does not say Johnston
"43162" - is a 43L 162mm opening Brand refacing. If this is true the opening is about right (161) but the length is 38left and 42 right so maybe not much of a "refacing".
A nice HR vintage large chamber small opening piece but I cannot seem to place it in the "normal" Selmer Airflow model progression.
Would appreciate it if anyone can help place it.
Thanks,
