I was recently gifted a saxophone in need of some repair. I've done some online research, which led me to this forum, but I'm still at a loss to figure out more info on this instrument. Hoping someone can perhaps help? There's significant engraving throughout the piece, and toward the base of the body, it indicates:
Made in France
Brev. SGDG No. 383098
Eng. L. Pat. No. 11824
US Patent No. 2090011
M53xxx
However, most of the Selmer's I've seen have additional info engraved in the Bell, including the Selmer name and other text. This instrument I have does not have that marking, but rather has what looks like a small engraved tall sailing ship with a tiny moon. This has led me to question whether it's a Selmer or not.
It appears to be brass, to my naked eye, but again, I'm working with limited info.
I've included three photos, and will be curious to see if anyone has any input.
Thanks for helping me out!
Hope you're all staying safe and healthy out there!
