Hello Daryl,
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,
Considering the photographs, overall pattern, serial number and the brand, I concluded that this is a Selmer Saxophone made in France. The piece dates back to the year 1965. We can extract this information based on the serial numbers on the piece which starts with the letter “M”. The piece has a serial number of “130698”. All the pieces within serial number range of “121601-131800“ were produced within the year 1965. These piece are named and categorised as “Mark VI” model within the brand. The piece was not played during the suggested periods but the artist whom suggested by the current owner might have performed with this after 1965. The piece is in good condition without visible problems, only possible small signes of use and age.
