I finished writing the B&S "blue label" page yesterday. I have to keep digging on some of the German sites since I might still find something there, but at this point, I've not seen anything yet. Oh, and FWIW, none of the original B&S materials that I have at my disposal, mention anything about 2 models of B&S saxophones. Jury is out, since I have yet to find a late-model blue label horn with all the extra features that the early model gold label tenor had. The earliest one I've found was tenor # 1654, and it had quite a few more features than the regular "blue label" horns-features that ostensibly didn't make it into the B&S horns until late into the production of these horns. I am currently writing my B&S page, and am looking for a few more "gold label" horns for research purposes, since I've had this theory for some time about what they were. I realize I will have to re-enter my search words, and look for words that have been strung together. Thanks for the link! I find the forum frustrating, since it's not allowing me to search for "B&S", and now I see that this thread didn't turn up because I searched for saxophon, and not tenorsaxophon (not the way tenor saxophone is normally spelled in German). I wonder if Silver Sax finally managed to sell it? Interesting thread on the Markneukirchen Forum. That tenor by B&S with the strange engraving has been kicking around for a while. ![]() I don't know how I missed your reply Pete.
