Owned by a professional musician of the early era of true players. Beyond that, no major damage jumps out at me. Original gold plate (satin body) is well intact at 85% and the sax looks great, just needs cleaned, hand-polished, and rebuilt.
TONE: The earliest core of Selmer's tone was launched in these 1930s, Super model saxes. They bring more meat and depth than the 50s Selmers. If you can forgive the early ergos on a "Selmer", you'll be rewarded with a stronger, more powerful tone!
PADS: Rebuild required - you can help choose. Original may have had only the rivets we see currently, but we discuss a few options and recommendations.
CASE: It arrived without a case, so it will be getting a new one.
