GEBR ALEXANDER 103 Alexander

This is a Model 103 from the era before serial numbers.
Yellow brass
One-piece
It has been overhauled in the past and has a lacquered finish.
I believe it is likely from the 1970s, but there are no patches, and the rotary and slides are in good condition.
The engraving on the bell and rotary cap is done by hand by artisans, showing a much more elaborate construction compared to current instruments.
There are some minor dents, scratches, evidence of dent repair, and lacquer peeling, but no major damage.

The mouthpiece shank feels a bit thinner than current European models, and it seems to fit a knob shank.
Although not pictured, I will include an Alexander 8F with an adjusted shank.

Weight is 2430g (excluding mouthpiece).
The playing feel is light with a bright tone, and the upper register resonates particularly well.

I have the original case, but I am concerned about its protection during shipping, so I plan to ship it in a Yamaha one-piece case.
Thank you.
