Looking for information regarding this Selmer which I believe to be vintage. I haven't managed to find what model it is. Any information on how it plays and the model would be great! The seller doesn't know the model.
Thanks!

Whoa! I have never seen this model! Interesting. It is a Selmer Paris and probably a small-bore horn, based on the overall proportions and bell size. The valve configuration and F-att is VERY unorthodox. I would certainly buy it if the price is reasonable. Can the seller tell about the condition of the slide?

It's going for $1000 NZD so around 600USD. Is that too expensive? And I'll ask about the slide now

I believe this is a Model 68 after doing some research. The seller said the slide is fantastic. Was this a professional line instrument in its day?

Yes, pro horn. I would grab it. (Disclaimer: I have a genetic propensity to collect instruments.)
I think you can be confident of getting your money back if you don't fall in love with it.
