Hi, Thanks! Looking at the sax the spots are grey or copper colored. They look like rust, but the grey ones seem to have a tiny dark spot center and then just look like a grey spot. The gold looks deep, almost honey colored but still shiny. I don't really see worn spots except maybe at the bottom of the bell where it looks copper shade where some gold is worn at the edges. So likely brass not gold plated? Most of the keys close tightly except the large bottom two on the lower left. Also the rollers (?) that close these keys click. Other than that keys close tightly though the pads do look like they need replacing. Rods look straight. Only a tiny (1/8 inch or less) dent near the very top of the horn. There is a little bit of green on the inside (like two small lines). Is my best bet to sell this on ebay? Pricing ideas? Any suggestions on getting good photos? Mine seem to reflect the shine of the horn and don't get the engraving to look its best. Hope to find a home that can get this horn back to good use with a little TLC. Continued thanks for all the help!
