I just got a Selmer USA alto as partial trade on another horn.
No model marked on it.
Looks just like an as210, but doesn't have engraving other than the stamped "Selmer USA".
Hi F#, lacquered keycups (not plated), double-handled wood case.

What are the differences between the AS200 and AS210?

From a 2003 WWBW catalog, the as210 didn't have engraving on it back then. This is also as I recall from memory, altho both my memory and their catalog may be wrong....only the 100/110 did.
However, an engraved bell is part of the deal for the current ones according to the conn-selmer site.

I'm going to put it on ebay by summer's end, and would like to be sure I'm labelling it correctly.
Is it an earlier AS210 w/o bell engraving?
Or is it an AS200?
Or might it be something else?
thanks for any help.
