      Well yes it is...I have been looking all over the place to find info about it..but even at selmer.com they did not even cared to reply to the email messages i've sent them. All i need to know is an estimate value for insurance purposes!! I am not yet thinking about selling.. cause i know both saxes are worth something and without me knowing at least an estimate value i do not want to fall victim to dealers who buy it cheap from me, telling me its THE best prize and then sell them for 5 or 10 times the value they paid me!!! I do not have ANY knowledge of saxophones at all and looking for some objective assistance :-)

        unfortunately these horns dont pull a ton of money. they are not considered by most to be truly "vintage" nor are they commonly seen as good the modern versions of the super actions. if its in excellent condition and plays very well its probably worth just over $2000. this is just a very rough estimate and it is a fluzuating market. for insurance, you can probably get it appraised for about 2500. these are just guesses m putting together from some things ive seen lately
