This is an older (and the coolest) S# 38k, with the "winged" keyguard. The original Lucite plastic one was broken, but sarge had a Keilwerth metal replacement guard, that he 24carat gold plated to match the sax, it looks great. This model has a darker tone, with good projection; it can shine on ballads or be bop, with the right mouthpiece. Original lacquer, but not much left, maybe 50% counting the lacquer under the keys... maybe the loss of lacquer is why this one has such a beautiful tone.
