Hello,
I am the owner of a silver tenor saxophone B & S serial number 2487.
I have heard that it is possible to find the manufacture date of my saxophone.
Could anyone help me with this?
Thank you in advance

Hi Sam,
Would you please provide some pictures - there are actually two verions.
Then I can comment and let you know my educated guess.
Cheers, Tobi

Hi Sam,
yes, they are sufficient. Thank you.
This is the "old" version, therefore the manufacture year should be end of 1973 / beginning of 1974.
Sorry, but a better guess is not possible for me.
I know: SN 2217 was built in JUN/JUL 1973; SN 2664 was built in APR 1974.
I have a question: Is "Made in GDR" engraved below the serial number, or at the lower ring of the bell (front side)?
Thanks and
best regards,
Tobi.
