My first eBay sax purchase. The seller's listings all read rather oddly "From Ireland" then item location "Birmingham, West Midlands, Ireland" and then "Post to: Ireland, United Kingdom". Rather off-putting, so I sent a message to say I would collect from Birmingham (I work there most weeks) unless that wasn't OK. Didn't get a reply so my collection of said sax may never happen.
Anyway, I understand the one I've allegedly bought is a Pan American Cavalier model 92M from 1937-38. If that's correct there are varying reviews of this model on t'internet, but the main theme is that if it's built by Conn in the 1930's it's got to be a well made sax.
So, over to you.... what HAVE I bought? Does anyone have any other info/thoughts about it? Here it is:

PS. Have a look at the seller's other completed listings, if you have time.
