Franz Kohler Empor Soprano

Hello, there's a Kohler Empor soprano for selling at some 500$.. do you think the sax is worth the money? Here's a pic.. has someone any experience with this brand?

This should be a really solid player if in good condition.
I have had a tenor like this (these are early B&S stencil horns, by the way) that was fantastic.

I will visit the shop tomorrow and judge the condition. I am quite curious about the SN, Kohler produced his instruments in the period 1931-1961. The highest SN I've seen so far is 3131, the owner provided me with some photos if someone is interested. Thanks for the reply, if there's anyone else with his experience, share it with us!

The SN is 29xx. I didn't buy it, it wasn't in tune. Unfortunately.. otherwise the overall condition seemed to be very fine.
