Take a look at saxpics.com. Your serial number is about 1925/1926. Still a vintage horn. Would love it myself.
Low pitch - this means A=440Hz, modern tuning. High pitch would not play in tune with modern instruments, even with mouthpiece adjustment.
A HP sax can play in tune with a LP instrument!! A cord or rod can be insert in the tube. From the mpc/neck down to the bell. The cord/rod make the bore smaller. The Cord/rod should also be tapered in the same proportion as the bore is tapered. The pitch will change but also the tone.
That's a new one. Have you seen/heard it done? My understanding is that pitch is dependant on the length, not the diameter of the bore.
