Coming from a very musically based family, I was given my grandfathers Sax when he passed. I didn't even know he ever played the Sax as all I'd ever seen him play was the Oboe. Apparently he played it while assigned to the Army Band.
Identifying markings. Just under the bell: U.S.Q.M.C.-3 in below that: GRETCH (not Gretsch) American Made- SN: A 34922 L
It is in pretty good shape for its age. Silver plating is worn in contact areas. Does need a good polishing. I am interested in finding some history on the brand as I can only find an approximate age. Possibly from the 20's. Its use in the Military band. Basically, anything you can find concerning it's life. My research hasn't yielded much.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
