I'd appreciate some input on how Selmers were manufactured, expecially MkVI period.
People often look to the lettering to see if any buffing is present and if so the horn is declared relacquered.
I've hear that Selmer horns sometimes have a lot more engraving and the explaination was that they engraved over any flaws in the lacquer.
The name and serial numbers appear to be stamped/ pressed in - so what is the process? Was it stamp the name, buff then lacquer then engrave?
I think the order of manufacture import to establish which are relacquered and I've seen some declared as original that gives me doubt and led me to question the process.
Is this horn a relacquer for instance?
