Sax_Mom needs help!

Hi, We've decided to sell a Conn Alto Saxophone, but I can't quite figure out how to describe it, because it doesn't fit the descriptions and timelines I've been able to research. Maybe someone can help me. It ought to be from 1970, as the serial number starts with an N. The case is like those I saw others had in school in the '70's. It does not say, "Made in Mexico." The B and Bb tone holes are on the right rather than the left. The engraving is not the shooting stars of the Director's model, but an asymetrical floral(?) that wraps around to the front. The name "Conn" is embedded in the engraving. The keys are also brass with laquer rather than nickel-plated. White pearls on the keys, and black sliders on the pinky clusters. Red felts. Sheet-metal keyguards. It's a great player with no intonation problems, but I'd like to describe it with more than that...
