I have a Zephyr alto 320xxx that has a few quirks that I am wondering about.
1. It has U.S. engraved on the bell (I know it's a former military horn, but this might help explain the other quirks)
2. The neck and body serial numbers don't match (off by 37 numbers)
3. It has no triangular clothes guard, which I have seen on every other zephyr I've ever seen.

Is it possible that the military band players were allowed to choose a neck/body combo that they liked at the factory? (I was told this might be true)
Does the lack of the guard affect the value much?
How much does the non-matching neck serial number affect the value?

Thanks for any input!
