Evette Schaeffer Serial Numbers Saxophone Scales

Hi, I just joined to see if anyone here might know something about our saxophone. I get conflicting info on the net. Anyway, it's an Evette, stamped 'Made in Italy' but that seems suspect to me - wouldn't it be in Italian instead of English if it were made there? The serial number has five numbers, which suggests a later manufacturing date for it than the 30's or early 40's that I've read about on the net. Also, I put it on postaroo.com for $200 and three different English people (all with yahoo emails, strangely) offered to pay the asking price plus shipping costs - which leads me to think it's worth more, or they're all some sort of scammers. Any info would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Raymond. I once owned a 'Made in Italy' Buffet Evette alto saxophone. My dad gave me this horn when I was twelve and it was what I learned to play sax on. If memory serves me right, it is gold lacquer with nickle-plated keys and has a 5-digit serial number. It has an oval bell to brace connector with a floral design in it. Mine was regarded as a student horn.

$200.00 appears to be IMO, a decent offer for a horn of this caliber. I currently own Buffet Super Dynaction alto and tenor saxophones, the professional line of horns of the manufacturer which were made about the same time as the Evette you described. The Italian Evettes, were from what I can tell were manufactured in the late 1960's to early 1970's. Oriya Video Song Download Hd there. Incidentally, Selmer from the late 1960's to today will place 'Made in France' on their horns. This is done because a large portion of the horns they produce were made for the American market. This may be the case with the Italian Evettes.
