Answering TTT, it's the blue one that's original. And it's not lacquer, it's titanium plate (btb, I believe there's only one titanium plate sax that's out there and that was a Keilwerth). The other one had its diamond plate removed and is bare steel, now.
"Diamond plate" is chromed pressed steel, right? They use that for shiny toolboxes ....
The most amusing thing about that video was that they did take quite a few bits and pieces from things that I've either quoted, wrote out before or seen on places like SOTW, including making a reference to the Jim Schmidt flute tests. Very well done.
Closing line's great: "... your solo sucks." I remember threads like that

Oh, you give us too much credit.
