well, he got this horn from...ME
I picked it up out of Europe a while back. And, the keywork -is- all original. Not commonly known that Selmer would do this kind of keywork on special request. Was a competetive thing, as the old 1920's Conn horns often had this keywork(altho not the F#; that was a later thing).
Decent horn, nice price for an SBA tenor with a new padjob.
I sold this as I've been disposing of all of my SBA altos & tenors I've owned over the years...(nope, no more for sale, so don't ask).
Btw, my dealings with the Eskimo have -all- been very legit and timely. Good guy to deal with.
