This saxophone is probably late 60's early 70's made by the Beaugnier factory in Paris serial number 139XX, it was not exported to be assembled elsewhere as some of the later ones were, Made in France is clearly visible on the bell.
It has scratches and pitting in accordance with it's age, if you require any more photos to ascertain condition please ask, and it plays as well as most French tenors I have played.
It also has retained it's "pants guard" which frequently goes missing from these models and has the switchable "G#" mechanism if you wish to use it, again info about this this can be found on the internet.
There are no extras eg sling, mouthpiece and the stand in the pics is not included, it will come in a usable solid case.
Price is £300 ono of which 5% to forum.
I have been an admirer of these horns for a long time and I am loathe to part with it but it deserves to be played.
